“This translation of the New Testament, unlike the standard translation such as the Authorized Version of 1611 and the American Revised Version of 1901, uses as many English words as are necessary to bring out the richness, force, and clarity of the Greek text.”
Volume 1, the Gospels, was published in 1956; Volume 2, Acts through Ephesians, was published in 1958; and Volume 3, Philippians through Revelation, was published in 1959. A one-volume edition was published in 1961.
