The Bible The James Moffatt Translation With Concordance ONCE CALLED "THE ORIGINAL MODERN-LANGUAGE BIBLE," The Moffatt Bible has brought new understanding and appreciation of the Scriptures to over a million readers through its vivid retranslation of earliest known texts into vigorous modern speech. Completed in 1926, revised in 1935, and now presented in a new and vibrant for-mat, The Moffatt Bible joins the best of scholarship and literary style to create a modern classic. More than a translation, it is also an illuminating commentary. All the findings of archaeology, philology, and related sciences that shed light on previously puzzling texts have been incorpo-rated. Material that was pure poetry in the original text has been rendered as such and set in poetic style. Prose is set in easy-to-follow paragraphs that retain intact the flow of speech. In addition, a helpful concordance allows easy reference to specific biblical terms and their usage throughout the Bible.
