Each of the major divisions of both the Old and the New Testaments opens with a brief but comprehensive introduction. In addition, each Book of the Bible has a brief Introduction concluding with the structure of the Book itself.
Powerful Illustrations
The NCB is a literary work with rare artistic merits, thanks to the creativity and skill of the renowned Christian artist and calligrapher, late Fr Christopher Coelho, OFM. The illustrations, the title pages and the overall layout inspire the readers to slow down their reading of Gods Word, to a devotional and contemplative pace.
