Description: Ferrar Fenton spent a lifetime on this project. A leading Semitic language scholar of a century ago, from the age of seven he read the Bible only in its original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. In print now for over a century, Fenton received much praise from reviewers for his translation, completed in 1906. (The New Testament appeared in print about 1890.) Highlights: Valuable textual comments, Hebrew order of books of Old Testament, a novel treatment of some books, such as Song Of Solomon, which is treated as a wedding day drama.

This is a lighter-weight, more compact edition of the Ferrar Fenton Bible, approx. 5.25 x 8.25 inches in size. Please note that the type used is somewhat smaller (about 10 point), compared to the approximately 12 point type of the hard-cover edition. Although the cover is not genuine leather, the attractive black vinyl produces a lighter Bible and is nice looking. See picture above for illustration of the black-vinyl cover Bible next to the larger hard-cover version.
