Synopsis

Get ready for a unique English translation of the New Testament: one where the word "church" isn't even mentioned and Jesus is the hero who offers something worth living for, suffering for, and dying for.

The most devout Christians can tout their knowledge of the "old" New Testament for days, but what does knowledge really do if not put into action?

From seasoned Bible translator and passionate, faith-filled researcher Charlie Webster comes 21st CENTURY NEW TESTAMENT: THE MANUAL FOR GOD'S TEAM. It's a New Testament translation that reads unlike anything traditional and challenges some widely accepted traditions. However, it is faithful to the original intent-Webster has simply swapped the traditionally used words and replaced them with phrases that, in 21st-century America, better communicate what the author was trying to convey. Some of the translation's clearest distinctions from others include:

● The word "church" is never used; it is instead replaced with the word "team" (which is a far better translation of the Greek).

● The word "believe" is almost always replaced with "have faith" (also a far better translation of the Greek).

● Letters are arranged chronologically instead of by size.

● Wherever possible, difficult names of people and places are moved to footnotes.

● An extensive companion glossary (available at NCM-21.com) answers common questions and provides background historical and cultural information.

Webster's translation emphasizes three major themes from the New Testament: faith that's faithful to God; caring love for all others; and focusing on an eternity worth living for, suffering for, and even dying for as motivation for faith and caring love.
