This New Testament is for people of all ages, colors, and creeds. It offers a faithful summary of the sacred writings about Jesus, his disciples, and Gods love for the world. Like an illuminated manuscript of old, Scripture comes alive through expressive forms and vibrant colors. It weaves the four gospels, acts and letters of the apostles, and vision of John of Patmos into a single narrative. Its lively style makes the Good News of Christ as vital today as it was when the Son of God first came to earth. Universal figures create lasting impressions for people from all backgrounds. Compassion and the call to love ones neighbor inspire the text. The distinctive combination of Word and image found here lends a wholly original beauty to the greatest classic of all time.
