Erwin Nestle (1883–1972)

The Greek text used in this book is that of the 21st edition of Eberhard Nestle's Novum Testamentum Graece minus his critical notes. The English translation is the venerable King James version. The copy I have is now fifty years old, passed on from the pastor who led me to the Lord, given to me in my first months at Bible school, my dear friend having fallen asleep in the Lord.
I used it extensively during my time in missionary training and ever since. It has one or two coffee stains due to show more studies going on long into the night, a well used companion which has lasted longer than a couple of Bibles, it's not keyed in to Strong's Concordance but that makes little difference in day to day use.
One of my five most used books. show less
