Be anchored in the faith “once for all entrusted to the saints” (Jude v. 3) with timeless wisdom shared from church history.
The Christian faith is founded upon unchanging, timeless truth. From the days of the early church until the day of Christ’s return, all of Christianity proclaims that “Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11). This is our unchanging and unceasing confession upon which all our hope and all our joy rests.
The Timeless Truths Bible will encourage you through the always timely wisdom of those who came before us. Devotional notes and commentary from trusted theologians and pastors from the second century up to the twentieth will stir your affections. The ancient creeds and confessions of the faith will grow your understanding of what we believe—and have always believed. And artwork created throughout the history of Christianity will deepen your worship of the one we call Lord.

The Timeless Truths Bible features the New English Translation (NET) which is faithful to the original text, clear for everyday reading and presented with unparalleled accountability. Enrich your reading experience of Scripture with the NET: Faithful. Clear. Accountable.
I was not familiar with the NET(New English Translation) of the Bible until recently. I personally prefer the ESV Bible, but I did find the NET very interesting.
The Timeless Truths Bible is a very unique Bible and one that caught my attention. I really love the inclusion of the Creeds and Confessions. I grew up learning and knowing many of the Creeds. The commentaries from well known Theologians throughout the Bible are a wonderful asset and encouraging. The Illustrations are very colorful and vivid. I am very impressed by the layout and truths throughout this Bible. I will probably use it every now and then as I have my Everyday bible already.
I would HIGHLY recommend this bible to those who enjoy Study Bibles and the Theologians that are in this Bible. WONDERFUL RESOURCE!
