New Brighton, Pennsylvania, Images of America, Paperback New Brighton’s unique and rich history dates back to 1788. Its location on the Beaver River attracted industries, such as the Townsend Company, Wilson’s Mill, Sherwood Pottery, Standard Horse Nail, Dawes and Myler, and the Pittsburgh Wallpaper Company, and brought immigrants in search of employment to the thriving community. Some businesses that supported the growing town were Kenah’s Apothecary, Milo Wilson’s Butterine store, Bestwick Hardware, A.D. Gilliland Dry Goods, Ewing Brothers, and Stuart Magee’s grocery. Notable citizens included Edward Dempster Merrick, a 19th-century entrepreneur who founded the Merrick Art Gallery; author and journalist Grace Greenwood; and the famous Noss family. New Brighton opens a window to an era of bustling businesses and industries, Junction Park, school days, and yesteryear modes of transportation. It also gives a rare look inside the house known locally as the “Castle,” built in 1894 by 19th-century industrialist Frederick Merrick.

That is what makes this translation worth owning. Unless one can read Koine Greek, it is best to have more than one translation of the scriptures, anyway. The volume is beautiful inside and out, an thus is not only good to read, but looks good on the shelf. Quality of binding, printing & cover is exceptional….It should meet or exceed anyone’s expectations. The content flows nicely and has a few rocky places. Direct but smooth, even the parts with less dialogue are amazing and interesting to read. The Orthodox New Testament (ONT) is a magnificent achievement. While most translators these days spend their energies on contemporaneity and/or political correctness, the editors of the ONT went back to the original Greek, as approved by the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and produced a majestic English text worthy of The Miles Coverdale translation in the elevation and beauty of its language and of the NASB in its clarity and precision. It should by all rights become a standard itself. The “Orthodox” of all denominations ought to be grateful to the editors for their work. ————————————————————————————————–Instead of clicking “buy it now”, -Click “Add to cart” to combine your purchases and shipments! -Free Local Pickup in DFW area!
