Analytical Literal Translation: Devotional Version

The purpose of the ALTD is to provide a translation of the Greek New Testament that will enable the reader to come as close to the Greek text as possible without having to be proficient in Greek. The name of the ALTD reflects this purpose. Literal refers to the ALTD being a word for word translation. Any words added for clarity are bracketed. Analytical refers to the detailed analysis done on the grammar of the text. The grammar is then translated in a way which brings out nuances of the original text that are often missed in traditional translations. In addition, analytical refers to the aids that are included in 4,300 footnotes which enable the reader to analyze and understand the text. The ALTD is based on the Byzantine Majority Text. With being both a literal and a readable version, the ALTD is the ideal Bible version for reading the Bible in both a study and a devotional manner. It is also ideal for public reading, quoting, or for the person new to the Bible.
