More Translator Notes than Any Other Bible
Translator Notes -
Explains the rationale for the translation and gives alternative translations, interpretive options, and other technical information.
Study Notes -
Includes comments about historical or cultural background, explanation of obscure phrases or brief discussions of context, discussions of the theological point made by the biblical author, cross references and references to Old Testament quotations or allusions in the New Testament, and other information helpful to the modern reader.
Text-Critical Notes-
Discusses alternate (variant) readings found in the various manuscripts and groups of manuscripts of the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament. Text-critical note indicators followed by a double dagger (tc ‡) indicate several hundred instances where the Greek text underlying the NET Bible differs from Nestle-Aland 28th edition Greek New Testament (NA28).
Trusted by Bible readers worldwide, The NET Full Notes has been recognized with the ECPA Bronze Award for selling over 100,000 copies.
Innovative Presentation and Design
Single-Column For a More Readable Experience
With the single-column design and an optimal line length of 65 to 75 characters, the Bible text remains exceptionally readable, even with the vast number of notes.
Triple Column to Capture All of the Notes
The NET Bible has more translators’ notes than any other Bible, introducing a true design challenge. By presenting the notes in triple-column, the NET Bible maximizes the amount of space for Scripture on each page, allowing
a better balance between the Bible text and the translators’ notes.
Scripture Remains The Focal Point
Furthermore, the lighter hue of the notes ensures that Scripture remains the focal point, visually jumping off the page. And yet, the notes remain easily readable, thanks to the customized typeface, which was designed specifically for legibility at any size.
Review by a Reader
This is MY Bible! This is the best Bible I have ever read or used. I use it all the time because it is a superior translation and the notes are excellent and the most useful. This Bible surpasses any of the translations I have on my overstuffed shelf and it is never on the shelf because I am constantly reading and pondering it. It's clear, readable, and most scholarly. I cannot thank you enough for making this translation available.
The newest complete translation of the original biblical languages into English - the New English Translation
The New English Translation
The NET overcomes one of the biggest challenges facing any Bible translation: the tension between accuracy and readability. With its balanced, easy-to-understand English text backed by translators’ notes--freely available on the NET Bible website--that reveal phenomenal detail at a precise grammatical level, the NET ensures you can forever leave behind the choice between “readable” and “accurate.”
Transparent and Accountable
Few outside the translation committee get to see the complex decisions underlying the words that appear in their English Bibles. Fewer still have the opportunity to review and speak into the translators’ decisions. Throughout the NET’s translation process, every working draft was made publicly available on the internet. Bible scholars, ministers, and laypersons from around the world logged millions of review sessions. No other translation is so openly accountable to the worldwide church or has been so thoroughly vetted. The ultimate accountability, however, was to the biblical text itself. Every question and suggestion has been filtered through the very best in biblical linguistics, textual criticism, and their unswerving commitment to following the text wherever it leads.
Our prayer is that the NET will be a fresh and exciting invitation to Bible readers everywhere to “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” (Col 3:16).
