Analytical-Literal Translation of the Old Testament

    The Analytical-Literal Translation  of the Old Testament (ALT: OT) is available in four volumes. This Old Testament is based on the Greek Septuagint (LXX). The LXX is a third century B.C. Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. This ALT: OT will enable the reader to come as close to the Greek text as possible without having to be proficient in Greek.

Analytical-Literal Translation of the Old Testament (Septuagint) - Volume One - The Torah

Analytical-Literal Translation of the Old Testament (Septuagint) - Volume Two - The Historical Books

Analytical-Literal Translation of the Old Testament (Septuagint) - Volume Three - The Poetic Books

Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament

    The Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament: Third Edition (corrected) (ALT3c) is the only New Testament that is a literal translation of the second edition of the Byzantine Majority Greek Text, brings out nuances of the Greek text, and includes study aids within the text. ALT3c promotes understanding of what the New Testament writers originally wrote. Available in multiple hardcopy and eBook formats.

Analytical-Literal Translation of the NT: Devotional Version

    The main difference between ALTD and ALT3 is that in the ALTD the “analytical” information is footnoted, while in ALT3 such information is included within brackets within the text. By putting this information in footnotes, ALTD is a much easier to read and to quote from version. Available in multiple hardcopy and eBook formats.

If you are getting an eBook version, you might be better off with ALT3. But if you are getting a hardcopy version, you might prefer the Devotional Version.


Additional ALT Books

    The following books are related to the ALT. The first contains the “extra” books found in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles as compared to Jewish and Protestant Bibles. The second includes translations of books that would be considered to be an “appendix” to the New Testament. The final two are study aids for the ALT.

Sex and the Bible

    These three books address the many hot button issues related to sexuality in our culture today: from abortion to transsexualism to sexual harassment and assault to men competing in women’s sports.

     Also covered are homosexuality and same-sex marriage, premarital sex (fornication), extramarital sex (adultery), monogamy, marital sex, polygamy, incest, celibacy, reproduction, infertility, contraception, masturbation, pornography, gender roles, and school and other mass shootings (yes, those are related to this topic).

    The first book is an introduction to the various subjects, quoting the most relevant Scriptures, with only short commentary. The next two books are much more detailed, with many more Scripture passages quoted and much more detailed commentary.

The Bible and Sexual Relationships Issues

Scripture Workbooks

      The doctrinal and ethical teachings of the Bible as presented in these books encompass an overall way of viewing the world that differs greatly from the prevailing secular worldview. It is hoped these books will enable the reader to not only understand this Biblical worldview but also why it is true and thus to come to trust in it, and then to be prepared to defend this Biblical worldview before an unbelieving world (Luke 24:27,45; Acts 14:14-18; 17:22-31).  The most recent and comprehensive is the first book listed.

Bible Study and Versions

    The first book is for the person struggling in life and for the person struggling with how God sovereignly works in people’s lives. The second answers questions such as: Why do Bible versions differ? Why does the same verse read differently in different versions? Why do some versions contain words, phrases, and even entire verses that other versions omit? Which Bible versions are the most reliable? The third book answers the question posed by the title.
