The Amplified® translation was created to deliver enhanced
understanding of the rich nuances and shades of meaning of the original
Bible languages. For this kind of study, no working knowledge of Greek
or Hebrew is required—just a desire to know more about what God says in
his Word. Now the updated Amplified translation is even easier to read
and better than ever to study and understand. It includes more
amplification in the Old Testament and refined amplification in the New
Testament. Additionally, the Bible text has been improved to read
smoothly with or without amplifications, so that the text may be read
either way. It’s the same study material that Amplified readers love,
now with even clearer wording for deeper understanding.
The Amplified Study Bible features verse by verse study notes and the
text of the newly revised Amplified translation, using a unique system
of punctuation, italics, references, and synonyms to unlock subtle
shades of meaning as found in the original languages. This is paired
with over 5,000 concise study notes that provide helpful, practical,
application-oriented comments on passages of Scripture and open the
Word for readers to apply it to life.

The aim of this collection of essays is to bring together new
comparative research studies on the place and role of the Bible in
early modern Europe. It focuses on lay readings of the Bible,
interrogating established historical, social, and confessional
paradigms. It highlights the ongoing process of negotiation between
the faithful congregation and ecclesiastical institutions, in both
Protestant and Catholic countries. It shows how, even in the
latter, where biblical translations were eventually forbidden, the
laity drew upon the Bible as a source of ethical, cultural, and
spiritual inspiration, contributing to the evolution of central
aspects of modernity. Interpreting the Bible could indeed be a
means of feeding critical perspectives and independent thought and
behavior. Contributors: Erminia Ardissino, Xavier Bisaro, Elise
