Comments:  Paperback octavo. 712 pp. In the Foreword the translation done by C. Murphy is described as "from the Greek, revised by an international team of biblical scholars, all of them Africans or working in Africa. In order to allow the reader to have an even greater flavour of the original text, this faithful translation avoids paraphrases, where possible, and exclusive language. Similary Hebrew and Aramaic words are left untranslated with an explanatory note." (The unspecified underlying Greek used here is from the Alexandrian text family which is also used in the complete »African Bible«, published 1999, with the NAB text.) Within the notes also extrabiblical references to e.g. the Dead Sea scrolls, the Targumim, the Mishna, pseudoepigraphical and patristic literature are to be found; so this NT comes close to a Study Bible.
