The Scriptures (2009 edition)
A literal translation of the Tanakh/Old Testament based upon the Hebrew Masoretic Text, and the Messianic Writings/New Testament based on the Textus Receptus Greek Text, modifications to these being made as appropriate in the light of other vital sources. It restores the use of the Hebrew form of the Name of the Father, and also that of the Son, as well as Hebraic name-forms of persons and places throughout.

I read recently about the process of reproducing copies of biblical writings. The problem is the scribes who may or may not copy accurately. This source said that the scribes of Alexandria were much more meticulous and accurate than those of Byzantium. It was suggested that if there was a disagreement between words appearing in Alexandrian and Byzantine sources, the better bet was to go with Alexandria. Unfortunately, after Nicea, Alexandria lost much influence.
