About the item

Original title: Nýja Testamentið og Davíðssálmar

Title in English: The New Testament and Book of Psalms

Description: This book presents The New Testament along with Psalms and Proverbs, translated into Icelandic from the original languages and published by the Icelandic Bible Society in 2007. It is part of the eleventh official Icelandic Bible translation (1584–2007), which aimed to modernize and refine the text while preserving its theological and linguistic integrity.

In this edition, the Old Testament translation was revised, incorporating textual refinements and updates to biblical place names. The New Testament underwent a fresh translation of the Gospels and Acts, while the Epistles and Revelation were carefully reviewed and corrected. Additionally, the Apocrypha, previously translated in 1931, was updated for consistency with contemporary biblical scholarship.

With its elegant presentation, clear typography, and a built-in ribbon bookmark, this edition is both a scholarly achievement and a practical reading companion. It is an essential volume for those seeking an Icelandic-language version of these sacred texts, whether for theological study, devotion, or literary appreciation.

About me

My name is Árni and I live in Iceland. I'm not a professional trader or seller - I'm scientist and teacher, but it so happened that I sell here the Icelandic Golden Root, Angelica archangelica, Arctic Thyme, Icelandic books, Bibles, etc. Why? Because I am interested in comparative linguistics and for many years I have been collecting and studying bible texts in many languages. I collect Bibles in different world languages and I spend a lot of money on the purchase of these. So I decided to sell the excess items in eBay to get some money for buying a new books and Bibles.

You should definitely visit my little eBay-store if you are interested in Icelandic medicinal plants growing in harsh arctic nature, surounded by the mountains, glaciers and volcanoes, which can significantly enhance your health. I can also provide different Icelandic books like Bibles, dictionaries, textbooks and etc., that can enrich your multilingual library.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any items related to Iceland or the Bibles.
