This rare volume from 1970 is a remarkable artifact of the ecumenical movement in Christianity during the mid-20th century. Published by “Christianity Today,” an influential evangelical magazine founded by Billy Graham, this book presents four major English Bible translations side-by-side: the classic King James Version, the modern Revised Standard Version, and two Catholic translations. At a time of increasing dialogue between Protestant and Catholic traditions, this volume symbolized a shared desire to make Scripture accessible to all. For collectors, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the theological currents of the era, while readers will appreciate the opportunity to compare multiple renderings of sacred texts. Despite its age, this copy remains in admirable condition, with clean pages and a sturdy binding, inviting both study and preservation.
