Personal Size Version
The “Regular” paperback and hardback versions of the ALT:
CV listed above are printed on 8-1/2”x11” pages in double columns using Times
New Roman 10-point font. However, there is also available a
Personal Size Version. It is printed on 6” x 9” pages in single
columns using the same font size, Times 10. Many requested this smaller page
size, so I am making it available. However, due to the smaller page size, the
number of pages and thus the cost of the book is greater.

Notes: Different formats and publishers might have different covers, but the content is the same in all of them.
The newest version of the Companion Volume to the Analytical-Literal Translation published in 2023 is a corrected text not a full new edition. Only minor corrections have been made, plus the cover and appendixes have been updated and a new chapter and appendix added.
The Kindle versions of the ALT: CV listed on both Amazon pages are identical. It has just been duplicated on each page.

Description
Note: The paperback and hardback versions of the Companion Volume are in double columns, printed in Times New Roman 11 point font. But it is not possible to reproduce that format here.
This book is a companion to the Analytical-Literal
Translation of the New Testament: Third Edition (ALT3). It will help
the reader to understand the reasons for the rather unique translations
often seen in the ALT as compared to other versions. This Companion
Volume is divided into four sections.
The first section provides background information for the ALT, recounts the decisions the translator struggled with in translating the ALT, gives details on the special notations seen in the ALT, answers frequently asked questions about the ALT, and overviews the ALT’s unique features.
The second section consists of “Glossary and Translation Notes” which explain the reasons for how important words are translated in the ALT, along with a list of measurement and monetary equivalents used in developing such bracketed information in the ALT.
The third section is an eight-part “Grammatical Renderings” section. This section explains the reasons for the unique translation of Greek tenses seen in the ALT, while comparing the ALT’s style of translation to that of other versions. It also explains other nuances of the Greek grammar which are brought out in the ALT but which are often missed in other versions. This section is detailed enough to be used as a primer on Greek grammar.
The fourth section contains a list of “Significant Textual Variants.” This apparatus indicates differences between the Byzantine Majority Text the ALT is based on and the Textus Receptus and the Critical Text, two other Greek texts often used in translation. It also contains a list of “Alternate Byzantine Text Readings.” These are the footnoted, alternate readings found in the Byzantine Majority Text. These indicate places where the Byzantine Greek manuscripts are closely divided. These lists will be invaluable to the person interested in studying the issue of textual variants.
Consequently, this Companion Volume provides much information helpful in understanding the translations seen in the ALT versus other versions.
This book is part of a Three Volume ALT3 Set, which includes the Third Edition of the ALT, this Companion Volume and the Complete Concordance to the ALT.
