Publisher Description
“Break Through the Language Barrier, Expand Your Understanding”
The Amplified Bible is a Literal Equivalent translation that, by using synonyms and definitions, both explains and expands the meaning of words in the text. This unique system of translation allows the reader to more completely and clearly grasp the meaning as it was understood in the original Hebrew and Greek languages.
For example, the Greek word pisteuo, which the vast majority of versions render as “believe.” That simple translation, however, hardly does justice to the many meanings contained in the Greek pisteuo: “to adhere to, cleave to; to trust to have faith in; to rely on, to depend on.”
Customer Reviews
Narration Great
The Narration is great. I like the voice. However, the tracks are numbered and have NO titles, so you have to scroll and guess, scroll and guess. Also, it is different from my Amplified bible, so following along with reading is not exact, but it is doable.
It’s the old 1987 text
The Amplied was updated in 2015, this was made in 2016. The text is completely different so this audio is useless. Why would they put this out a year after updating the text?
Reading fast
Even at 3/4 speed, it’s still a bit too fast a reading to me. Wish there was an option to slow it down to 5/8 speed.
Also, inaccurate descriptions. For example, Judas sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, and the audio adds: “about $2”. Also, feeding of the 5,000. The disciples said, 200 denarii cannot feed this crowd, which was about a year’s wages for a laborer. The audio adds: “about $40”. Are you kidding me??!!
