The paper is rated at 19lb and was sourced from the Tervakoski Mill in Finland. I did notice a couple of minor imperfections with my edition and one of those being the head band doesnt appear to be glued where the ribbons have been installed.Īlso, around the first and last pages I noticed slight gaps down the gutter where at different spots it appears to be glued. The ribbons have been cut to a nice long length and are gold and copper in color with matching head and foot bands. The Saddle Brown cover is very flexible and stitched around the perimeter with brown paper liners and end sheets for the interior.īut, for those of you that would prefer a more natural and premium binding there is a genuine Cowhide edition available. However, since the Strongs Concordance was numerically coded only to the Hebrew Old Testament and not the Greek OT (Septuagint) additional numbers needed to be added for the Greek Old Testament.īasically any time you see a number with a decimal point that word is found only in the ABP and not the Strongs.).Įco Im assuming is short for economy and is actually imitation leather.
The Concordance lists these words alphabetically by the English word and the Index is listed numerically by the Strongs numbers and alphabetically by the Greek word.īoth the concordance and the index utilizes the numbering system from the Strongs Exhaustive Concordance. The Strongs numbers are set above the Greek text on the top line with the English text residing on the bottom line.Īlso, at the bottom of the page there are relevant scriptural and textual references and as mentioned earlier, comparisons with other Greek texts were made to assure accuracy and are noted in the footnotes by abbreviation.
However, since this is an interlinear Bible, for each verse there are three lines of information: For the center line the Greek text is set in a nice bold font and keyed to Strongs numbers. The columns are fairly wide with approximately 35 characters per line. It was shipped in a USPS Priority Mail envelope with the Bible wrapped in cellophane (no Bible box included).Īccording to the Editor the ABP continues in the tradition of the Early Church Fathers who consistently quoted and read from the Greek Scriptures.Īlso according to the Editor, one of the benefits of an interlinear translation is that the translator is held to a higher standard and by having the original language side by side with the target language the translator is compelled to use equivalent words to match the original language text.
The ABP may also be a great resource for those of you who are in the process of learning Biblical Greek.Īfter placing my order online the Bible arrived in two days in brand new condition.
