The Inclusive New Testament

The Inclusive New Testament uses non-sexist & non-classist language in this powerful new translation. It underwent a four-year grassroots field testing by over three hundred individuals, faith groups & intentional communities; it reflects the scholarship of contemporary feminist biblical hermeneutics & a faithful reliance on the original Koine Greek. The Inclusive New Testament emphasizes the poetic beauty of the ancient texts, while gently & creatively recasting it in inclusive language. It is designed to be read--by individuals, for private reflection & devotional study; & read aloud--by lectors, from the pulpit. The unique & attractive format has no columns or artificial section breaks, giving greater attention to the storyline of each book & de-emphasizing its bibleness, while retaining the traditional chapter & verse numbering for quick reference & ease of study. The large & clear typeface makes it an extremely readable text for old & young alike. The sew-&-cover binding gives the book the flexibility to lie flat without breaking the spine. the Inclusive New Testament is an essential addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in biblical, feminist or contemporary language studies.
