The Bible

IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Many of the Bible's deepest and most significant passages are misunderstood or altogether missed by the average reader, because of the strange and unfamiliar words no longer used or known except to the Bible student and scholar.
It was to make the meaning of the Scriptures plain to all that the work of bringing out the AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE was undertaken. For twenty-nine years the ablest and most devout scholars in America and England gave themselves to reverent, patient, and careful study of the original text, and how to convey its exact true meaning in the language of to-day.
The American Standard is not a new Bible, but the old Bible made plain; not a new story, but the Old Story more clearly and simply told.
It is not a departure from the inspired Word, but a drawing closer to it.
It is the standard for all the great religious papers of this country, and is used by Ministers, Theological Seminaries, Bible Training Schools, Y. M. C. A., Universities, Colleges, Religious Associations, and the various societies of every denomination, because it is the Bible in plain English, thus making the use of Bible Commentaries unnecessary.
