What Is the RIV?

The Renner Interpretive Version of the New Testament is an expanded, interpretive version based on Rick Renner’s exposition of the original language of the New Testament. It’s not a word-for-word translation, but a conceptual interpretation that draws upon concepts in the Greek language in a way that gives readers a broader comprehension of the Scriptures. By extracting imagery presented in the Greek and conveying it to readers using contemporary speech, Rick helps draw lovers of the Word into a deeper study of God’s message to His people for all time.

In Rick’s newest book on this topic, he sheds light on the days of Noah in such depth and detail, you will be astounded by what you learn about the dark days on the earth just before the Flood and how they are relevant to us today.
