From the Back Cover
The Interlinear KJV-NIV Parallel New Testament does three things for you. It sets the popular, classic King James Version and the best-selling, contemporary New International Version side by side so you can easily compare them. It directly relates Greek words in the Nestle's Greek text to their corresponding translations in the KJV and NIV texts. And it allows easier reading of the Greek New Testament. These advantages offer you a better understanding of the Bible as a result. This proven study tool uses Alfred Marshall's interlinear English text--the standard, widely used literal translation of the Nestle's Greek text, 21st edition. A generation of students, pastors, and scholars has relied on Marshall's renowned contribution to biblical study. The Interlinear KJV-NIV Parallel format will bring new depth, perspective, and insight to your Bible studies.

About the Author
Alfred Marshall, a British scholar in New Testament Greek, also wrote the Classified Word Book and A New Testament Greek Primer.

Customer Reviews

Great Resource
This Bible contains the original Greek text and a literal English translation (with a few paraphrases in parentheses) under the Greek text in the middle column. The New American Standard Bible (NASB) version comprises the left column, and the New International Version (NIV) the right. I have found this text priceless because, if I have a question about what the author meant when he used a specific word, I can see what word(s) another translation, or even the original Greek, uses. Unfortunately, this book contains only the New Testament (not the Old).

For those who want the KJV, NIV, Greek AND interlinear
The idea is good--for those who want an interlinear Greek text with a literal translation and two of the most widely used translations, this is it. The interlinear portion, however, is often difficult to read because of the extremely small print (particularly regarding the numbers that indicate word order), and the binding is completely falling apart.

This book is too bulky for easy use. I recently saw an old edition of Marshall's interlinear with just the KJV beside it on the same page, and the book was MUCH more compact. Those who want a KJV-NIV parallel should find another edition, and those who want a Greek interlinear should find that--having them both in the same book, while it may be useful to some, to me seems pointless and results in a product that is unnecessarily difficult to use.

Alfred Marshall has VERY few translator's notes; several more would have been welcome.

This book was given to me, so there were no misrepresentations or similar disappointments.

Through the science of Textual Criticism, Nestles has compiled an accurate Greek to English text of the New Testament in an easy to understand form that is invaluable to the serious Bible student. I have used it for many years since receiving it as a gift.
