The first edition, Oxford University Press issue of The New English Bible, New Testament, a completely new translation from the original texts rendered into modern English. A handsome example, finely bound in red morocco by Zaehnsdorf.

'In May 1946 the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland received an overture from the Presbytery of Stirling and Dunblane recommending that a translation of the Bible be made in the language of the present day. As a result of this, delegates of the Church of England, Church of Scotland, and the Methodist, Baptist, and Congregationalist Churches met in conference in the following October at the Central Hall, Westminster. They recommended that the work be undertaken, and that a completely new translation be made, rather than a revision' (Herbert). The new translation of the Old Testament (with Apocrypha) was first published in 1970.

First edition, Oxford issue; 8vo (23 x 14.5 cm); red morocco by Zaehnsdorf, spine lettered in gilt, all edges gilt, a few marks, otherwise near fine.

Herbert 2330.
