A Pocket New Testament Sharing the Gospel the Way God Does

Such an approach divorces the New Testament from any of its historical context and from the biblical timeline, which, of course, begins with God as the Creator.

The common “New Testament first” approach is often used for pocket Bibles, which generally feature the New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs. Such an approach divorces the New Testament from any of its historical context and from the biblical timeline, which, of course, begins with God as the Creator. In our increasingly biblically illiterate generation, I think this approach is lacking.

And that’s why I’m excited to announce that the powerful Legacy Standard Bible (which my friend Dr. John MacArthur has been involved with the translation and production of) will be available in a special pocket New Testament featuring Genesis, the entire New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs.

This special Answers in Genesis edition will help readers understand the origins of the universe, sin, death, and their need for a Savior, the Lord Jesus. I’ve often said over the years that those who hand out the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs need to include Genesis, as Genesis 1–11 is the foundation for the rest of the Bible, for all doctrine, for the gospel, for the Christian worldview, and in fact for everything.

I recently did an interview with one of the translators of the LSB who gave me some fascinating insights into why they produced this new translation.

You can find the Legacy Standard Bible in special pocket New Testament or the full Legacy Standard Bible in giant print on our online bookstore, AnswersBookstore.com. I encourage you to order a copy for yourself and more to give away to others as you share the gospel beginning in Genesis!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
