What Is This Edition

The Bible as it existed
before the councils decided
what you were allowed to read.

No king commissioned this translation. No church council approved it. No denomination funded it. No institution decided what to include or what to remove.

The Complete Word is the most complete English-language Bible ever compiled — 146 texts drawn from the oldest available manuscripts in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Ge'ez (Ethiopic). Every book that was read as scripture by early Jews and Christians is here. Every book that was quietly removed by councils, reformers, and publishing societies is restored.

Every significant translation choice is documented in a footnote. Every place where ancient manuscripts disagree is noted and both readings given. Every passage with a documented dispute in scholarly literature carries a full explanation of what the dispute is, which manuscripts support which reading, and what scholars have concluded.

"The truth is not afraid of investigation. If these texts are sacred, they can survive scrutiny. If they cannot, then you deserve to know that too. Either way, the complete picture belongs to you."

— From the Preface to Volume I

This is not an anti-Christian or anti-Jewish project. It is a pro-completeness project. It is built on one conviction: that every adult who seeks truth deserves access to the complete historical record — not the version that was most convenient for those in power.

Books Restored in This Edition

What was removed — and why it matters.

These are not obscure fringe texts. They were read as scripture by early Jewish and Christian communities. Several are directly quoted in the New Testament. All were removed by specific human authorities at specific historical moments — not because they were proven false.

Book 84

The Book of Enoch (1 Enoch)

Quoted verbatim in Jude 1:14–15. Echoed throughout Revelation. Preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Canonical in Ethiopia for 2,000 years. Removed by the Council of Laodicea, 363 AD — without theological argument.

Quoted in NT · Found at Qumran
Books 69–72

The Books of Maccabees

Without 1 Maccabees, you cannot understand Hanukkah, the "abomination of desolation" Jesus warns about in Matthew 24, or the feast John records Jesus attending in John 10. Removed from Protestant Bibles at the Reformation.

Book 73

The Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom 2:24 — "through the devil's envy death entered the world" — is the first biblical text to identify the Genesis serpent as the Devil. Paul's entire argument in Romans 1–2 follows Wisdom 13–14 so closely that direct literary dependence is probable.

Paul echoes it · Serpent = Devil first stated here
Book 87

The Book of Jubilees

Found in 14 Hebrew copies at Qumran — more copies than Ezra, Esther, or Ecclesiastes. Names all the women Genesis leaves unnamed. Establishes the 364-day sacred calendar. Cited as scripture in the Damascus Document.

14 copies at Qumran · Ethiopian canon
Books 113–121

The Dead Sea Scrolls

The Community Rule explains the "sons of light" language of John's Gospel. The War Scroll illuminates Revelation's final battle. The Thanksgiving Hymns are the earliest non-biblical Hebrew psalms. Discovered 1947. Ignored by most Bibles.

Discovered 1947 · Illuminate the NT
Books 139–140

Shepherd of Hermas · Epistle of Barnabas

Both appear in Codex Sinaiticus — the oldest complete New Testament manuscript — placed alongside Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Revelation. The 4th-century scribes who copied the NT considered these scripture. Why don't we?

Our Translation Principles

Five commitments
we make to every reader.

Oldest Manuscript First

When multiple manuscripts exist, we translate from the oldest available source. For the Old Testament, this means the Dead Sea Scrolls (250 BC–70 AD) take precedence over the Masoretic Text (600–1000 AD). For the New Testament, the great papyri and Codex Sinaiticus/Vaticanus take precedence over the Textus Receptus.

Word for Word, First

We translate formally — as close to word-for-word as English allows. Where the grammar prevents it, the choice is explained in a footnote so you can see exactly what the original says.

No Omission for Comfort

No passage has been softened, shortened, or removed because it is difficult, violent, theologically complex, or politically inconvenient. The original text's full voice is preserved.

All Disputes Documented

Every passage with a documented textual dispute carries a full note: what the dispute is, which manuscripts support which reading, and what scholars have concluded. You see the evidence; you make the judgment.

Five Types of Footnotes

[T] Translation note · [M] Manuscript variant · [D] Dispute note · [H] Historical context · [C] Canon history. Every footnote is labeled so you know exactly what kind of information you are receiving.

No Institutional Affiliation

This edition is not affiliated with any church, denomination, religious organization, or publishing house with a theological agenda. No doctrine determined what was included. No institution approved the content. The text speaks for itself.

Primary Source Manuscripts

The oldest available evidence.
Nothing else.

Every translation in this edition traces directly to a specific physical manuscript. Here are the primary sources — documents that have survived for centuries and speak directly from the ancient world.

~250 BC – 68 AD
Dead Sea Scrolls (Qumran)
Every Old Testament book except Esther. Plus 1 Enoch, Jubilees, Tobit, the Community Rule, the War Scroll, and dozens more. 1,000 years older than any other Hebrew manuscripts. Discovered 1947–1956 in eleven caves above the Dead Sea.
~300–100 BC
The Septuagint (LXX) — Codex Vaticanus & Alexandrinus
The Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures used by the New Testament authors themselves. Includes the Deuterocanonical books. The NT quotes the LXX far more than the Hebrew Masoretic text.
~125 AD
Papyrus P52 — Rylands Library, Manchester
The oldest known fragment of the New Testament — John 18:31–33, written approximately 35 years after the Gospel was composed.
~200 AD
Papyrus P66 — Bodmer Library, Geneva
Nearly the complete Gospel of John. Contains the reading "the only God" at John 1:18 — the oldest manuscript witness to this text.
~330–360 AD
Codex Sinaiticus — British Library, London
The oldest complete New Testament manuscript in existence. Includes the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas alongside the 27 canonical books — exactly as included in this edition.
~350 AD
Codex Vaticanus — Vatican Apostolic Library
The most important single Bible manuscript. Contains most of the Old Testament (Septuagint) and nearly the complete New Testament. The primary source for most modern critical editions.
~200 BC–1400s AD
Ethiopian Ge'ez Manuscripts
The only surviving complete text of 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and the three books of Meqabyan. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church preserved the most complete ancient Christian canon — 81 books — without interruption for 2,000 years.

Our Mission

"The complete picture belongs to you."

We exist to put the full historical record of sacred writing into the hands of every person who seeks it — without institutional gatekeeping, without denominational agenda, and without the omissions that centuries of political and religious consolidation have imposed on what most people call "the Bible."

The scriptures do not need to be protected from curious minds. They need to be freed from the filters that have hidden parts of them from those minds for centuries.
