The perfect New Testament for seekers or new believers who want to start reading God's Word but are not sure where to begin or are intimidated by the full Bible. Building on the very successful "He Did This Just For You Gospel" and "He Chose The Nails" book by Max Lucado, we're pleased to introduce the "He Did This Just For You New Testament." It includes a 4-page article by Max Lucado which reviews the plan of salvation, discusses one's new life in Christ, and tells readers how to use the features of this New Testament. And there are 30, two-page reflections from Max Lucado that provide an accessible way to get into the Bible and learn about the Christian faith.

The New Testament for the Twenty-First Century

Many readers of the New Testament have grown overly familiar with the biblical text, losing sight of the wonder and breadth of its innovative ideas and world-changing teachings about the life and role of Jesus of Nazareth. In The Kingdom New Testament, N. T. Wright, author and one of the world's leading New Testament scholars, offers an all-new English translation that invigorates these sacred texts and allows contemporary readers to encounter these historic works afresh. The original Greek text is vibrant, alive, and active, and Wright's translation retains that spirit by providing a new English text for the twenty-first-century reader. At the same time, based on his work as a pioneering interpreter of the Bible, Wright also corrects other translations so as to provide more accurate representations of the original writers' intent.

The Kingdom New Testament features consistent use of gender-neutral language and a more "popular-level" language matching character of the original Greek, while maintaining the vibrancy and urgency of the original work. It will help the next generation of Christians acquire a firsthand understanding of what the New Testament had to say in its own world, and what it urgently has to say in ours.
