Amplified Bible description

The Amplified Bible (AMP) is an English translation of the Bible. The first edition was published in 1965. It is largely a revision of the American Standard Version of 1901, with reference made to various texts in the original languages. It is designed to "amplify" the text by using a system of punctuation and other typographical features to bring out all shades of meaning present in the original texts.

The Amplified Bible was published in six stages:
Gospel of John (1954)
New Testament (1958)
Old Testament Volume Two (Job-Malachi) (1962)
Old Testament Volume One (Genesis-Esther) (1964)
Complete Bible (1965)
Updated Edition (1987)
