New World Translation

Abbreviation:   NWT
Released: 1984
Contents: Old Testament, New Testament
Source Used: Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York (1984)
Location: Tyndale House, Cambridge, United Kingdom

It was translated from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek languages by a committee.

It was originally released in six volumes from 1950 to 1960. The originals contained marginal references and footnotes. The revised 1961 edition had neither. This 1984 edition has been expanded to include complete updating and revision of the marginal (cross) references of the original edition.





It was released by the committee to the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania for printing, translation into other languages, and distribution. The translators felt responsible to God to transmit His thoughts and declarations as accurately as possible.
