\nThe Economy Bible NTV, Seed Edition is an affordable edition of the Nueva Traducci\xf3n Viviente (NTV). The NTV translation renders the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary Spanish. The scholars who worked on it kept in mind the concerns of both translation theories: formal-equivalence and dynamic-equivalence. Their goal was to be both faithful to the ancient texts and eminently readable. The result is a translation that is both accurate and powerful. This Bible offers a low price, which makes it ideal to distribute to groups, give as a gift, or use as an outreach resource!
