Novum Testamentum

A convenient pocket edition of the complete New Testament in Latin, comprising 649 pages of Sacred Scripture. Measuring 5 1/8" x 6 7/8", it is especially suited to priests, religious, seminarians, and other Catholics accustomed to reading the Scriptures in Latin. Its practical size makes it easy to carry in a pocket, briefcase, or satchel.

Latin remains the official language of the Roman Catholic Church and has long served as a common and stable language for her liturgy, theology, and doctrine. Its relative permanence provides a consistent standard across different eras and cultures, beyond the continual changes of modern languages.

For those who regularly use Latin in their prayer and study, this edition provides a practical means of having the New Testament close at hand throughout the day. It is well suited for private reading, meditation, spiritual study, and preparation for preaching or instruction. Its convenient format makes it particularly useful for priests and religious who desire to make frequent use of Sacred Scripture without carrying a larger volume.
