Young's Literal Translation is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1862. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible and Concise Critical Comments on the New Testament. Young used the Textus Receptus (TR) and Majority Text (MT) as the basis for his translation. Young produced a “Revised Version” of the translation in 1887, which was based on the Westcott–Hort text that was completed in 1885. After Robert Young died on October 14, 1888, the publisher released a new Revised Edition in 1898. (Source: Wikipedia)

Two Sparrows Bibles are meticulously designed for ease of navigation, a pleasure to read in any modes (night, day or sepia) with emphasis on typography and layout.


Pages have shortcuts that are subtle as to not interfere with the simplicity in the presentation of the text. Navigation is linked to verse numbers so you can jump to any addresses in the Bible with 3 or fewer touches. Some of the books such as Obadiah, Philemon, 2 John, 3 John and Jude require only 2 jumps.
