The New Testament: New Covenants, Book One
Pay over time for orders over $35.00 with
This Covenant Christian Edition of the Restoration Scriptures improves navigation within the New Testament by reintroducing the traditional KJV chapter and verse numbering system. At the same time, it preserves the paragraph structure and presentation of the text, which helps keep principles and ideas together and avoids the fragmentation that can occur when material is divided into very small one- or two-sentence sections.
KJV navigation aids appear as red headers on the left-hand pages, with red chapter and verse numbers shown inline, making them easy to locate while reading. This edition also includes corrections identified after the first edition was printed.
As one of his most important works, Joseph Smith Jr. spent years making inspired clarifications to the Bible text; however, he was killed before it could be published. Here, for the first time, every known emendation that he wrote or taught has been assembled into the most complete version of Joseph Smith's New Translation of the Bible.
In October 1831, Joseph Smith said, "except the church receive the fullness of the scriptures that they would yet fall." From that time until his death in 1844, Joseph Smith worked diligently to prepare an edition of the Bible that could be received by the church, and in the process greatly expand the religious understanding of Christians and Christianity of his day. Using a unique spiritual gift, he inquired of God and received thousands of inspired corrections and clarifications. However, he was murdered before completing the work, and with the scattering of his notes following his death, it was never published in its entirety.
Known at the time as the "fullness of the scriptures" and subsequently the "Inspired Version" or the Joseph Smith Translation (JST), portions of Joseph Smith's New Translation of the Bible were collected and published at various times, usually together with hundreds of alterations that were not the work of Joseph Smith. Because no single church, institution or collection had access to all of his journals, notebooks, papers and letters, his inspired work on the project was never gathered and published in a single edition, until now.
Early Christian reforms, and the availability of the Holy Bible changed the world. But reform and translation alone could not, and cannot, restore lost knowledge or recover unaltered sacred texts. For that, inspiration and revelation from heaven itself is necessary. Joseph Smith answered the call. He was unequaled in his day as a leading religious figure, and his name has been held for both good and evil by Christians worldwide. These scriptures are a new witness of Christ and a sign of His invitation to renew communication with mankind. Religious scholars, students of religion, Christians and seekers of truth alike should prayerfully consider the greatly expanded views of God, his covenants, and his dealings with the human race that are available in this Restoration Edition of the Bible.
