Contains the complete sacred Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments translated into English direct from the original Hebrew Chaldee and Greek. Mr. Fenton explained how he came to take up this arduous work: "In the year 1853 there was inspired in my mind by what appeared to be a mere accident a resolve to study the Bible absolutely in its original languages to ascertain what its writers actually said and taught. ... I at once threw myself into the stream of the suggestion and registered a vow that I would never again read the Gospels or Christian Documents of our Faith in any language but Greek until I had learned to think in that tongue and it had become as familiar to me as the diction of an English newspaper."
In the Book's Dedication he further states: "I dedicate this complete translation of the Holy Scriptures of the Hebrew and Christian Faith to ALL THOSE NATIONS WHO HAVE SPRUNG FROM THE RACE OF THE BRITISH ISLES and to whom the English language in its developed power is the mother tongue; and with them to all the inhabitants of the world to whom English has become or may become the language of thought in hope that a clear presentment of the laws of creation and human existence will restore them from the mental distress of atheistic doubt to a firm reliance upon God their creator and the practice of his revealed laws of life, bodily and spiritual."
