There are almost 4,000 different proper names throughout the Bible and in each name, we discover a story. The NTV version allows readers to not only easily understand the meaning of every proper name, but to also understand the deeper connotation as it relates to the destiny of the person or location. It is a time-saving tool as the meaning is included right next to the name which eliminates the need to research via concordances, word studies and name books. The NTV is based upon the World English Bible (WEB) but the text has updated based upon most recent discoveries to insure the most up to date version.
