Listen To New Testament FREE Learn More About How We do Things More About Concordant Publishing Concern & Our Mission Expand The Concordant Publishing Concern is a non-denominational, non-profit association founded for the purpose of disseminating the facts and truths of the ancient manuscripts of the Scriptures. Our research efforts are centered upon the many issues involved in discovering the meaning of the original Scripture terms themselves. We seek to determine how we may best translate these same Scriptures, striving to do so objectively, accurately, and consistently . Our translation principles, both of vocabulary and grammatical analysis, govern all that we do. One of our founders explained our mission quite simply as "We seek to be of service to all, while lording over the faith of none." You can read more about it in our bi-quarterly magazine, Unsearchable Riches. It has been published continually since 1909. We also have a Founding Philosophy and Mission page that explains more in detail. "What is the Concordant Publishing Concern About?" explains more about us in detail. About the Concordant Version of the Old Testament Expand The word Concordant means "agreement" and "consistent". You do not have to wonder about how we translate the words, we have built-in an easy way for you to see how we do it. Throughout the Concordant Publishing Concern's translation, every word is analyzed and a single English word is assigned to each Hebrew word as its STANDARD (synonyms or idiomatic variants are used where necessary, for the sake of good diction). Boldface type is used for words, or even parts of words, having exact counterparts in Hebrew. Lightface type is used for words, or parts of words, which are added for readability. Also, small symbols and abbreviations indicate variant Scripture sources used. The result is an accurate and concordant Old Testament. The complete Concordant Version of the Old Testament, or CVOT, is available to read online for free and to order . How to Use the Concordant New Literal Translation Expand The CONCORDANT LITERAL NEW TESTAMENT (CLNT) can be used in two basic ways. First it may be read devotionally, disregarding all the boldface, lightface, various signs, symbols and abbreviations. In this case, readers still gain a distinct advantage over those using less accurate translations, because all of the vocabulary is rendered uniformly. One has the satisfaction of knowing that he is reading a version that uses a “pattern of sound words” (2 Timothy 1:13). Next, the CLNT may be used to study the Scriptures themselves in exact detail. When used in this way, the reader familiarizes himself with the Instructions for Use and The Abbreviation Key . You quickly learn what it means when words are in bold, in lightface, etc. We believe you do not need to be a scholar to find, for yourself, the true meaning of the Scripture.

An exposition is a "comprehensive description and explanation of an idea or theory". Our expositions, or articles, thoughtfully delve into what the Scripture actually says. Then, we endeavor to judge, in light of all relevant considerations, how we are to understand what is said. Explore Expositions What Is A Believer? The Evangel Defending the Faith A BELIEVER is “one who believes,” that is, one who has faith in something or someone. Faith can be legitimate (faith in what is true), illegitimate (faith in what is not true), or feigned (pretended faith). But there is something we need to understand as a fundamental axiom. Believing is … Read More The Gehenna Of Fire Death and Judgment CONCORDANT STUDIES THE OLD ENGLISH “hell,” denoted that which is covered (hidden or unseen). Consequently, it once served as a suitable translation of the Greek hades, which means “imperceptible” or “unseen.” In modern English, however, due to the corrupting influence of human tradition, “hell” has come to mean “the abode of the … Read More What Is Death? Death and Judgment AMAZING AS IT MAY SEEM to some, death is a return. Man is soil and returns to the soil (Gen.3:19). The spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecc.12:7). The soul returns to the unseen whence it came (Psa.9:17 and Acts 2:27,31). In fact Job speaks of death itself as a return … Read More FREE AUDIO Our online audio library includes readings of the Concordant Version. As well, you'll find a wide selection of talks.
