“After almost 50 years of working on this project I’m grateful to God for all those he has sent to make it possible. Dr. Archer for being my mentor and teaching me Greek and Hebrew grammar. Moody Publishers for connecting me with our endorsers and publishing the first Discovery Bible in 1987, and dozens of others who have made this possible. We now have a tool that makes what once was difficult and confusing, accessible to everyone.” Gary Hill – Chief Editor

Why Use The Discovery Bible?
FACT #1
Something is always lost when translating the Bible to English
When you translate from complex languages like Greek and Hebrew to English, details are always going to be lost. The English version you read today gives you just one possibility of what the text says.
That’s why we have so many different English versions (NIV, NLT, KJV, NASB, etc.) and while there are many great translations out there, none of them are perfect.
The Discovery Bible enhances English Bible versions so you can cut through the clutter and start seeing how Greek and Hebrew have an impact on everything from devotional Bible reading to sermon preparation.
FACT #2
The biblical languages are not just for pastors or seminary students
But it doesn’t need to be this way!
There is wonderful richness to be found when you know how these languages communicate and can apply it in your Bible reading.
Even if you’ve never seen a Greek or Hebrew letter, The Discovery Bible makes this wonderful richness available to you on an English Bible. Now you don’t need a degree to make the Bible’s original languages meaningful to you.
FACT #3
God Used Greek And Hebrew For A Reason
That is why God chose these languages, but of course, when you translate them into English, you lose a lot of the benefits.
Many of the English version are wonderful to read. God still speaks and there is still huge blessing experienced every day by people who just read an English translation.
However…
For those who want to take things a step deeper, they can easily take advantage of Greek and Hebrew using The Discovery Bible.

That Is Why So Many
Scholars Endorse The Discovery Bible
“The Discovery Bible helps the person who has not been able to study Greek or Hebrew in-depth, to discover deep observations of the Hebrew and Greek texts which they would not be able to know otherwise. It is of special help to the non-specialist without opportunity for this level of in-depth study.
I recommend it for pastors, and for those without training, that makes observations from the Hebrew and Greek texts very understandable.
HELPS puts this level of knowledge into usable concepts, so that the non-specialist could come to new understandings. These comments apply to both the lexical and the syntactical parts of The Discovery Bible, Old and New Testaments.”
“I have looked through the HELPS markings on The Discovery Bible Old Testament and find them fully reliable.
They ingeniously lead out the fuller Hebrew meanings of vocabulary/near synonyms, verbs, and emphasis shown by the original word order. The determinations of emphasis in the Hebrew text by Gleason Archer and Gary Hill soundly reflect the best of classical and modern scholarship.
This applies also to the presentation of data in the NT portion.”
The Discovery Bible represents a tremendous amount of work and a wonderful help to all Bible readers, starting with those not having the advantage of a seminary education. It is also a great help to pastors and seminary students, full of competent instruction in opening the Hebrew text. This exegetical advantage is often lost because many Bible colleges and seminary curriculums no longer offer this area of study – even shortened at major seminaries that no longer offer Hebrew in any form.
The Hebrew and Greek principles followed in The Discovery Bible are accurate, trustworthy, and pass on the teaching which has come down from the past. The Discovery Bible preserves this rich heritage of classical Hebrew and Greek philology for our day, competently displaying the emphasis (emphatic word order) of the original text, explaining the Hebrew and Greek verbal systems, and setting forth root-based vocabulary definitions (including near-synonyms) of the biblical languages in a way that represents a triumph in Old and New Testament scholarship (a Genesius and company resurrected).”
” . . . the very valuable aid of understanding the emphasis of the original Greek, not otherwise available to the English reader. It is a very valuable tool for the English student of Scripture.” *
“The Discovery Bible New Testament is a landmark volume. It makes available to students of the English Bible dimensions of meaning that the Greek verb tenses and word-order convey, but that cannot be expressed in ordinary translations because English is a less subtle language.
The markings in the text and the glossary of synonyms reflect impeccable linguistic scholarship. The system of symbols is easy to learn and the effect of working with the volume is like adding color to black-and-white photos.
The would-be teacher who wants to bring out the full weight of meaning that the New Testament carries now has two choices. One is to spend some years studying Greek, classical as well as New Testament, so as to be able to spot each nuance accurately for oneself. The other is to use The Discovery Bible, and start getting it all right as of now. Gary Hill and Gleason Archer, who devised this precious students’ aid, deserve our profoundest thanks.” *

We gladly give and sell our resources to anyone who would find them useful, especially passionate, dedicated, Bible readers.
