The Textual Bible is the most literal translation of the Bible into Spanish based on the critical text available on the current market. This version is a respected reference tool among Spanish-speaking Christians who use it to teach the Bible and deepen their study.
Its format is presented with the same pagination and sequence used by the Apostles and the Early Church in the first century AD.
Faithfully following the translation style of previous editions, the Textual Bible is based on the best available critical text, according to the advances of the Critical Hebrew Bible evaluated according to the four main witnesses: the Masoretic Text, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Septuagint, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. For the New Covenant, it uses the twenty-eighth edition of the Greek New Testament.
True to its predecessors, the IV Edition has been produced under the unsurpassed discipline of Contextual Translation, which expresses, without compromise, not what the Sacred Author could have said, but what He says in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
Like its previous editions, but greatly benefiting from the latest archaeological findings, computer technology applied to manuscripts, and the advancement of biblical studies, the Textual Bible is an extraordinary instrument for exploring the depths of the Word of God.
Throughout its text, this edition includes more than 12,000 footnotes, in addition to competent material for the Special Passages section, expanded to more than 300 notes of exegetical and theological interest.
