Discover the Translation in the Oldest Tradition. The Translation in the Oldest Tradition (TOT), by Dr. Mark Spitsbergen, brings Scripture into clear, readable English through a word-for-word approach rooted in the conviction that God has faithfully preserved His Word. Begun in 2003, TOT draws on the Byzantine textual tradition, the Textus Receptus, and the Aramaic Peshitta for its New Testament rather than the Alexandrian tradition. Scrivener’s 1894 Textus Receptus normally controls the Greek reading; Dr. Spitsbergen’s Old Testament translations follow the Hebrew Masoretic text in Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS). The TOT Bible app puts this translation at the center of a complete reading and study experience. READ YOUR WAY Compare translations side by side, search by passage or phrase, and personalize your reading with adjustable text, themes, and auto-scroll. Highlights, bookmarks, and a daily reading marker help you keep your place and remember what matters. EXPLORE THE WORDS Explore the New Testament with Interlinear (Beta), integrated into Read and Word Study. See Scripture alongside linked Greek words and open meanings and pronunciation from your passage. Open Word Study from a verse to explore Hebrew and Greek words, pronunciation, and definitions from Strong’s, Brown–Driver–Briggs, Abbott-Smith, and Thayer’s where available. Find the same word in other verses, compare dictionary explanations, and copy or save your discoveries. READ DR. SPITSBERGEN’S COMMENTARY Explore available commentary alongside Scripture. Follow references and select meaningful excerpts to copy or add directly to a notebook. BUILD YOUR PERSONAL STUDY LIBRARY Bring passages, word studies, notes, and photos together in notebooks. Add handwriting and sketches with Apple Pencil on supported iPads. Organize notebooks into folders, pin favorites, search your study material, and share text or PDF copies. Presentation mode provides a focused view for teaching and preaching. MAKE A PLAN—OR READ AT YOUR OWN PACE Choose a ready-made reading plan or create your own.
