LONGWOOD, FL-Have you ever found the New Testament difficult to understand? Do you appreciate the King James Bible but struggle with the archaic language? Have you ever wished you understood what Paul was really saying? If so, you might want to secure a copy of Vince Garcia's The Resurrection Life Study Bible™ ($23.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-882-9), a unique Bible structured in two different parallel formats as a traditional King James New Testament with detailed study notes, and as an easy-to-read paraphrase amplifying the text to bring out its cultural and historical background. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the Scriptures in a natural, free-flowing manner that clarifies difficult to understand verses.
"This work is unique in that it approaches the New Testament with an open mind," says Garcia, "paraphrasing and explaining the text without a preconceived denominational bias, acknowledging its Jewish roots while imparting the true message of the various passages, be that message consistent with Eastern, Western, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, or Jewish perspectives."
Though born with a form of autism, Garcia with divine help taught himself to read by age 4 and began studying the Bible. Raised Catholic, he was drawn into the occult craze of the '60s before embracing evangelical Christianity. He then began a serious study of the Bible, Christianity, and Judaism. The result was a balanced yet evangelical biblical worldview drawing from main tenets of Christian and Jewish belief, resulting in a rich paraphrase of the New Testament that cut through denominational barriers to impart its universal truth.
