Revised English Version

Product Description

The Revised English Version® (REV®) is the New Testament version by Spirit & Truth Fellowship International®. We call it the REV® because we are presenting a modern English update to the American Standard Version (ASV) of 1901. We have worked to keep the REV as a literal translation whenever appropriate, like the ASV or King James. It is not a “dynamic equivalent translation,” such as the NIV, although there are times when, to make good sense in English, we had to depart from a strictly literal translation. Our goal is to eventually have an “essentially literal” translation of the Bible that more closely represents biblical truth than any other translation currently on the market, and also one that is written in today’s English. We think we can do that because we believe a person has to understand the meaning of the text correctly to be able to translate it correctly. Furthermore, one’s theology always affects the way that person will translate the text. It is our assertion that there are theological issues that we understand more correctly than most translators, and thus our translation will reflect that theology.

About the Author

Spirit & Truth Fellowship International is a non-denominational ministry that is working to teach, train, and help Christians around the world connect with others in obedience to Jesus command to go make disciples. All of our activities are designed to promote personal spiritual growth and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Vision is: Building an Enduring Work of Truth Our Mission Statement is: To provide sound, biblically-based teaching and training to equip and empower Christians, and to facilitate a network of likeminded individuals, fellowships, and churches. We draw upon all relevant sources that shed light on the integrity of Scripture, such as geography, customs, language, history, and principles governing Bible interpretation. We seek the truth without respect to tradition, orthodoxy, or popular trends and teachings. Jesus declared himself as the truth, and stated that knowing the truth would set one free. Our vision of Building an Enduring Work of Truth is in obedience to Jesus command to …go and make disciples of all nations… (Matt. 28:19). The work of Spirit & Truth Fellowship International is made possible by the financial support of our Partners and Contributors.
