Bibles For Canada - Faq

Frequently Asked Questions How is the New Testament Recovery Version different from other versions? Bibles for Canada chose to distribute the Recovery Version because of its accurate, modern English translation and because it contains a wealth of useful learning aids that are very easy to use. The outlines, footnotes, cross-references, charts and maps are outstanding in the way they help the reader to understand the Bible. We think it is the best version available today. Why is it called the "Recovery Version"? Each Bible translation has its own name, e.g. "King James Version," or "New International Version." The "Recovery Version" is simply the name of this translation. What does the word "recovery" mean? The use of the word "recovery" does not refer to a person's recovery from alcoholism or other substance abuse. It refers to the regaining of biblical truth, Christian experience, and church practice that have been misunderstood, misinterpreted, misapplied, or missed completely due to the influences of history, tradition and even religion. Particularly since Martin Luther's time, God has been progressively recovering these truths, thus affording His people a constantly increasing understanding of the divine revelation. Now these recovered truth are brought together for the first time in a unique study Bible—the Recovery Version. Why didn't you include the Old Testament? For our gift offer we've chosen to give away only the New Testament. Anyone wanting a copy of the entire Recovery Version Bible may buy one through the publisher, Living Stream Ministry, or through a Christian bookstore. Since the Recovery Version is a newer translation, some Christian bookstores may need to special order it through Spring Arbor Distributors. What church is Bibles for Canada affiliated with?
