FERRAR FENTON TRANSLATION
DESTINY PUBLISHERS is the only source from which to obtain the Complete Bible in Modern English, as translated by Ferrar Fenton. This invaluable edition of the Scriptures has gone through a new printing and we have ample inventory.
This unique version contains the complete Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, translated into English directly from the original Hebrew, Chaldee, and Greek languages, with instructions and critical notes by Ferrar Fenton. Mr. Fenton explained how he came to take up this arduous work: "In the year 1853 there was inspired into my mind, by what appeared a mere accident, a resolve to study the Bible absolutely in its original languages, to ascertain what its writers actually said and taught.... I at once threw myself into the stream of the suggestion and registered a vow that I would never again read the Gospels, or Christian Documents of our faith, in any language but Greek, until I had learned to think in that tongue and it had become as familiar to me as the diction of an English newspaper."
He went on to relate the reasons for his devotion to the laborious task in which he became involved: "I am deeply convinced that, if the Sacred Scriptures are again made clearly intelligible to the whole of our race, by being translated absolutely afresh from the Hebrew and Greek into the same style and diction as our current literature, our people will again see their Divine teachings with the delight and devoted faith their forefathers did in the days of the Tudors, and from that faith, and its inspiration, will spring a harvest of genius like that which ennobled the heroic reign of Elizabeth."
We believe that Ferrar Fenton attained his objective, bringing out a translation that is a completely accurate rendering of the Scriptures into our modern English language. As he himself said, he was extremely careful in editing to maintain the spirit and sense of the original text. Thus, we have an edition of the Bible that is of inestimable value to the sincere student engaged in Scriptural research, who desires to come into a deeper understanding of the great truths of the Holy Writ.

Ferrar Fenton introductory pages - the first 15 pages up to Genesis (777kb file size). I separated the introductory pages from the rest because they tell the story behind the Ferrar Fenton Bible and how and why it's different from other English bibles. If you want to know what makes this Bible so special, read this first.
