The Bible - translated by Nicholas King

For over a decade Nicholas King, an outstanding biblical scholar and Jesuit priest has been working on a labour of love, his groundbreaking translation of the whole Bible.

The translation is from the original Greek and includes the texts often referred to as the Apocrypha. Nicholas King's aim has been to keep as close to the original Greek as possible, frequently incorporating idiomatic or grammatical peculiarities.The result is a translation which is exceptionally stimulating and sometimes startling. Readers will find that it shakes off the dust which often settles on passages that have become tired from over familiarity or frequent quotation.
