This book gives insight into 2 translations, and the original Greek for the New Testament. It's easy to use and shows just how much can be "edited" to point to a specific viewpoint concerning the religion sponsoring the translation. That there are differences from the Greek meaning to the translated text shows what the people paying for the work wanted to emphasize, and what they wanted glossed over or omitted. In my opinion, this book is a "must read" for anyone trying to understand the roles organized religions played in promoting special viewpoints as opposed to a strict translation. To say that liberties were taken is a given, but the original Greek translation gives you a point to start with in understanding how much.
For anyone who really wants to learn the Bible, this is a wonderful book! Greek is a very precise language so it's helpful to see exactly how things were originally worded, rather than just read a bunch of translations. I just gave the book to a new pastor for a gift to help start a church. If your pastor doesn't have one, why not gift it to him.
If you are studying the word of God this is a book, good book.. To look at Different formats

a very valuable resource to your Bible study. I purchased the interlinear because my brother said it is a must to own and it is. It gets you back to the root being of a word. A must for every home library. this author Alfred Marshall has put out the best interlinear.
Gives me options to see for myself what the verses really mean
