The Kindle link worked just fine; I couldn't get the "Nook & Sony (ePub)" version to open, even from Adobe Digital Editions, which I think is supposed to open ePub's.
That Bible is available in several other formats, not mentioned on
the webpage that opens from the link. (None of the webpages, to which I navigated, showed sublinks (that's probably not the proper word, but the URL's with them are in the form of "www.domainname.com/sublink")) in the address bar of my browser). Here are all of them:
PDF.
eSword module
eSword iPad module.
theWord module
Android mySword module
Kindle eBook
Kindle Fire eBook
Nook & Sony eBook
I found these by clicking on the thumbnail of the Bible, on
the publisher's homepage. The webpage that opens has links on the lefthand side to "Bible" (which is the one under consideration) and "Books." The webpage that opens up if you click on "Books" has about 5 books, any one or all of which you might find valuable.
Some tentative conclusions, and questions, from exploring
the website of the publisher:
- The Bible is published by
the Congregation of Yahweh, which seems to adhere to
Messianic Judaism.
- The website says that "The original New Testament was not written in Greek, but Aramaic. This is a literal translation and we believe to be the closest bible to the original language that was written thousands of years ago - the bible as it was!"
The statements above can cause people to reach the wrong conclusions--namely, that this Bible is a translation from
Aramaic. True, scholars say that the New Testament was written in Aramaic, but we have copies only written in
Greek.
