165 complete and unabridged books in print, plus exclusive digital access to 45 books of ancient Judeo-Christian history, make this the largest single volume Bible with apocrypha ever published. Professionally, literally, and accurately translated over a period of seven years, these major revisions of older works have, for the first time, been translated into contemporary and easy-to-read English, making them accessible to everyone.
Unlike similar volumes with abridged and often poorly-formatted and poorly-collated collections, this 210-book library is composed entirely of complete, unabridged, and thoughtfully-arranged works so you get what is advertised. Translated into contemporary English while still achieving accuracy and literalness, the LSV Master Collection is a breath of fresh air compared to the many antiquated alternatives which use hard-to-read 17th, 18th, and early-19th-century public domain translations.

The goal of any good translation is to produce a readable text that preserves the original autographic meaning and comes as close as possible to translating, word-for-word, manuscripts that accurately represent the original writings. It's with this goal in mind that the Literal Standard Version (LSV) was written-a modern, yet literal English translation based upon the most prolific texts: the Masoretic Text (MT) for the Old Testament and the Textus Receptus (TR) and Majority Text (M) for the New. However, in certain, specific instances other manuscript versions and text-types are used where the evidence seems incontrovertible (e.g., the LXX and DSS in the Hebrew and Aramaic; the Alexandrian in the Greek).
ANOTHER TRANSLATION, WHY?
There have been a slew of new English translations in the past half-century, which may cause some to wonder why the need for another. The translators agree with the premise that different translations can serve different demographics and different reading levels to maximize exposure to God's word. In this sense, the LSV is not a competitor to other excellent translations, but is complimentary. As the most literal modern English translation, the LSV is an excellent resource for deep and thoughtful Bible study and research, essentially an interlinear in terms of word-for-word translation, but arranged with English sentence structure.
