This is the 1898 edition of Young's Literal Translation in a paperback edition. It is a one (1) volume edition that contains both the Old Testament and the New Testament in 1 book.

Robert Young grew up reading the King James Version Bible. By the 1830's and 1840's, some of the words in the King James Version had changed in meaning. This apparently sparked an interest in young Robert, an interest in learning the Hebrew and Greek and an interest in translating the Bible. Robert Young decided on a strictly literal rendering of the Hebrew and Greek into English. No changing of words, no softening of words or passages, just translated strictly as it was written in the original languages.

In 1862, Robert Young finished translating the Bible. This was something that he had spent half of his life preparing for and doing. Twenty-five years later, he released a revised edition in 1887. After another twelve years of study, he released the third and final edition, the 1898 edition. In this edition was almost a complete lifetime of studying Hebrew and Greek. Almost sixty years of study and work had produced what is probably the most literal translation of the Bible ever produced. Now, one hundred and six years later, Greater Truth Publishers is re-releasing it. Now instead of reading it on the internet or sitting down with photocopied pages or endlessly searching for a reprint from years past, it is now available again in book form.

Robert Young did not intend for his literal translation to replace or compete with the King James Version. It uses the same Elizabethian English that the KJV used, so it does have some of the same flow that the KJV has. However, being a strictly literal translation, the word order is different from the KJV, so it does read different than the KJV and can be difficult at times to read. Being a strictly literal translation though, makes it the perfect study tool. You can now see exactly what God said and how he said it. Sit down with this Bible in personal Bible study and watch your understanding grow. Bring it to a group Bible study and watch the excitement grow as familiar Bible verses take a slightly new turn under a new light.
