The text of the The Sower's Bible in his revised version 2015 is now available to a wider audience with this large print edition which offers greater reading comfort for all who need or want it, whether for personal reading and meditation, in-depth study or public reading.
The objective of the The Sower's Bible is to make the biblical text easily understandable to the uninformed reader, including for a first contact with the Bible, and to allow all those who are familiar with it to appreciate in a new way the meaning and richness of its message.
Faithfulness to the original texts And accessibility have remained the key words of the 2015 revision which made it possible to render the meaning of the original in an even more precise and intelligible way, with formulations still based on the principle of functional equivalence, but which gain in conciseness and sobriety, all in a respect for the registers of language: the words which belong, in the original languages, to the religious register or to the secular register, are translated into French by words which belong to the same register.
The text of the Sower's Bible in large print is accompanied by:
- Introductions to each biblical book presenting what is known about its author, its date of writing, and a brief presentation of its content.
- Notes informing of manuscript variants and other possible understandings of the biblical text.
- A glossary of biblical terms and some proper names.
- Seven color maps.
- A practical advice sheet for reading the Bible profitably.
- A two-year reading plan.
