The REV Bible app is designed to give quick and convenient access to the Revised English Version® Bible produced by Spirit & Truth Fellowship International®. Work began on this translation in the year 2000, and the first edition of the New Testament was released and printed in 2013. Both the Old Testament and New Testament were published online in 2015. And currently, work is being done to update the whole Bible for a second edition. The Bible is titled the Revised English Version because it is a translation of the ancient texts into English, and yet while it has much in common with other modern English versions, it also has significant differences. We also have included helpful tutorial videos to help you understand all the features of the REV Bible app. POWERFUL FREE BIBLE STUDY TOOLS * Keep your own study notes and highlights in a MyREV user account * Study over 1,000 pages of Bible commentary (just tap a verse if the verse number is red) * Read in-depth Topical Appendices and Word Studies * Navigate using the quick “enter a verse” jump menu * Search using our robust search feature * Customize your Bible reading experience with a vast array of preferences like “light on Dark Theme,” different font options, customizable font sizes, line height, etc. The REV is designed to be a more literal translation whenever the literal rendering can be accurately reflected and understood in modern English vernacular. However, there are times when the REV has departed from a strictly literal translation in order to make good sense of English. Strictly literal translations can be more difficult than helpful at times as the mechanics of Greek and Hebrew differ dramatically from English. In addition to grammatical and syntactical differences, idiomatic expressions are rarely cross-lingual as well. In any translation, the objective is to communicate the meaning of the original language in the receptor language. Thus, a more optimal equivalence methodology is employed in the REV. We hope and pray that the REV Bible app will further your relationship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. For more info, visit SpiritAndTruthOnline.org/revisedenglishversion
