If you long to dive deep into your personal study of the Bible, but feel you lack the tools to study it like a seminary student or scholar, this book is for you!

What is the RIV? Simply, the Renner Interpretive Version of the New Testament is an expanded, interpretive version based on Rick Renner's expoundings from the original language of the New Testament.

The RIV is not a word-for-word translation ― it’s a conceptual interpretation that draws upon concepts in the Greek language and expresses them in a way that supplies a broader comprehension of Scripture. By extracting pictures presented in the Greek language and conveying them to readers using contemporary speech, Rick brings the Bible to life, drawing lovers of the Word into a deeper study of God’s message to His people for all time.

James and Jude were Jesus’ half-brothers, younger sons of Joseph and Mary. In this installment, the Spirit-inspired words of James and Jude will thrill your heart, challenge your thinking, and open the eyes of your spirit in greater ways to see the unchanging nature of God ― His wisdom, goodness, power, and love.

The first installment of the Renner Interpretive Version to be released, this "brothers" volume features:

insight into the brothers’ first audiences and their circumstances.
historical usage of the words the writers used to convey their timely messages.
the relevance of their words for humanity today.
all this in 133 verses of James and Jude and more than 1,200 footnotes!

Without knowing the nuances of the original language, there are riches we can miss in the Twenty-First Century. Find the treasures contained in the words of the New Testament and let the RIV guide you into a fresh Bible-study adventure, starting with this installment!
