The NLT Holy Bible Premier Edition was created in partnership with Premier Christian Communications, the organisation behind Premier Christian Radio. This hardback NLT is set out to enable their readers and listeners to engage with Scripture.

This NLT Bible contains exclusive content from the bestselling book 'God's Big Picture' helping to explain the overall narrative of the Bible and accessible apologetics from presenter and author Justin Brierley.

As an authoritative version of scripture, faithfully rendered into today's English by over 90 international leading biblical scholars, The New Living Translation conveys the message of the original texts in clear, contemporary language. The NLT's guiding principle is to render words and phrases as simply and literally as possible when that approach yields an accurate, consistent and natural English text, preserving literary devices, metaphors and word choices that give structure and provide meaningful connections between different passages.

The NLT Bible also adopts a more dynamic approach when the literal English equivalent would be too obscure or archaic for readers to fully understand. The result is a translation both exegetically accurate and powerful, making it ideally suitable for both private and public use.
Premier Christian Communications Ltd is a multi-media organisation with an audience of over a million per week. It exists to enable people to put faith at the heart of daily life.

Most of the translators involved in the NLT Bible Translation are scholars working in theological colleges or universities, and all have written books and/or specialist articles regarding the particular books of the Bible that they helped to translate.

They represent a rich variety of theological and denominational backgrounds, united by the common conviction that the Bible is God’s Word and that all people should have a translation of scripture that they can readily understand.

‘If you’ve read one Bible translation for some time, I recommend trying the new Anglicised NLT for a refreshing change. It’s an easy read with trusted scholarship supporting it.’

- Amy Boucher Pye, editor of the Woman Alive book club

'Combining accuracy with elegance and accessibility, and drawing on the best textual scholarship to help shed light on difficult passages, this new Anglicized edition of the NLT is one of the most readable and reliable translations of the Bible available today.'

- Revd Dr Emma Ineson, Principal of Trinity College, Bristol

'Whether reflecting on the scriptures quietly or reading them aloud in a group, the lively language of the NLT is arresting and much to be recommended. This new edition from SPCK will surely help to bring greater clarity, depth and vibrancy to everyone’s experience of God's word!'

- Eleanor Mumford, founder of Vineyard Churches, UK and Ireland

'The NLT was put together by a dream team of scholars and linguists and gives us a Bible that is thoroughly reliable and eminently readable. It allows the Scriptures to speak with fresh vitality.'

- John Ortberg, author, speaker, and Senior Pastor of Menlo Church, San Francisco, California

‘The Bible is such a gift from God that Christians over generations have worked diligently and creatively to provide translations that are faithful to the original manuscripts and speak in new and dynamic ways. The NLT does exactly that in communicating life and hope.’

- Revd Professor David Wilkinson, FRAS, Principal of St John’s College, Durham
