The 'new' New world translation: A review
Known as the silver sword because of its colour, this is not an update it is a new translation. With a new translation philosophy and approach. We will look at various features of this edition and make comments from more than one perspective.
The bare facts
Sturdy but soft grey cover, with the wording inset into the binding and not printed on it. A new WT invented font and crisp layout with even presentation. This is different to the old NWT which originally had uneven and untidy typesetting. Launched with an 'app' (JW app )which also includes other bibles from the watchtower, this NWT is not just a revision it is effectively a new translation.
Features of the Bible
Full bible with centre references, summary (outline of contents) of each book in advance. At the front is a section of 20 questions that people ask with colour drawings and short answers. at the rear is a concordance and a glossary of terms. following this the usual various charts and maps with two important (for the JWs) chapters on the divine name in the Hebrew and. Greek scriptures.
Differences to the 'old' NWT.
