Features of the Filament Bible app include About the New Living Translation
The New Living Translation is a clear and accurate English translation of the Bible. It conveys the precise meaning of the original languages in a flowing, effortless writing style that promotes comfortable and meaningful reading of God’s Word.
So many new translations popping up with Bibles lately. The latest is the NLT which is the New Living Translation. @TyndaleBibles @NLTBible
It is available as a softcover, hardcover, and Leatherlike cover. You can get a charcoal gray striped or a teal striped with index tabs or without. I have the teal striped without the index tabs. It’s very appealing in color and size.
Another feature is the Filament Bible app which includes over 350 videos, interactive maps, articles, profiles, and devotionals. The Bible itself has several notes, reading guides, charts, and other neat features. I love the maps that are included throughout the Bible. Each book has an introduction page that gives you an overview of the book and highlights key events. It also has a timeline of the events in the book of important events. Big Story Notes that ask questions to connect lessons and personality. There are also several illustrations of places, items, and other relevant features of the verses.
Like so many modern Bibles they seem to be doing things differently than what I grew up with. Just like other translations, there are several verses that are completely omitted: Matthew 17:21, Matthew 18:11, Matthew 23:14, Acts 8: 37. Other situations are that sentences or half of the verse is omitted completely or changed: Matthew 19:9, Luke 4:8 – “get thee behind me Satan” is omitted, Matthew 19:9, Mark 6:11, Acts 17: 29 & Romans 1:20 removes in my opinion important words. I have just listed a few things. The Bible still has the word of God throughout it just some featured scriptures are different or just missing. How do you really review the Word of God!
I’m not a scholar of the Bible but, it doesn’t sit well with me with so many verses being omitted or words being changed from what has been the standard for many years. It also seems to be more gender-neutral than other versions that I have read. This isn’t a Bible that I prefer with the translation. It’s something that I suggest you pray about and research yourself. Don’t just take my word of the NLT Bible.
I bought the version with the verses in only one column at first, but exchanged it for this one. The reason for the exchange was that this version's notes and figures are in colour. I quite enjoyed the thorough and well-researched notes, pictures and diagrams the authors used to break open the passages. The introduction to each book is well laid out, with a picture to represent the book and useful notes.
Another perk of it is that it can be scanned with the Filament Bible app to gain more resources, devotionals and even worship songs based of the passage you are currently reading. I found the concordance at the end of the Bible that groups various topics with verse references quite useful.
I would recommend this book for anyone who wants a readable thought-for-thought translation in colour.
This may be labeled a student's bible but it's actually a great choice for anyone who wants to increase their understanding of God's Word. This New Living Translation uses modern-day language that is appealing to both new and mature Christians, and there are many helpful study aids, including maps, charts, and notes. The colored illustrations are a plus and I always appreciate when a Bible shows the words of Jesus in red print. I will be using the NLT Student Life Application Study Bible as a reference to my own Bible!
I received a copy of this book through FrontGate Media. There was no obligation for a favorable review. These are my own opinions.
This is an outstanding Bible for everyone who wants to go deeper in personal study. It's full of interesting articles, full-color images and graphics, plus commentary and verse notes that really help unpack concepts, definitions, and passages.
