The Parallel KJV New Testament: Two Greek Traditions (Textus Receptus and Critical Text) with Two English Translations (King James Versions, Original and Modified)

Compare New Testament manuscript traditions

Modern translations differ from the King James Version in many ways. Differences arise from the translation philosophy and the Greek manuscripts the translators used. The KJV is an English translation of the Textus Receptus. What if the KJV used Critical Greek Text, like most modern translations?

The Parallel KJV New Testament allows readers to compare New Testament manuscript traditions and see how they affect English translations. Greek traditions with English translations are laid out in parallel columns:

• Textus Receptus, the basis for the KJV
• Critical Text, the basis for most modern translations
• Classic KJV, translated from the Textus Receptus
• Modified KJV, retranslated from the Critical Text

Differences are highlighted across the four columns so readers can easily compare the Textus Receptus and Critical Text and recognize their similarities and differences. The Parallel KJV New Testament is an ideal study resource for those interested in Bible translation, textual criticism, and the KJV debate.
