NEW YORK, May 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- The American Bible Society is proud to make available a special edition of its best-selling scripture resource, Synopsis of the Four Gospels, edited by Kurt Aland, at a significant reduction in price.  A pre-requisite text for divinity students and scholars, the revamped title is now widely accessible to pastors.

The organization is offering a 40 percent discount to ministers of God's Word until July 31, 2010. Pastors who use the code "SCHOL40" will enjoy 40 percent off the list price.

"With all the challenges of ministry today, this is not the time to cut back on getting all we can from God's Word.  We're committed to equipping pastors for frontline Bible ministry and ongoing Scripture study and engagement," said John Cruz, vice president of Bibles.com, the publishing division of the American Bible Society.

The new cover design is based on representations of the four evangelists derived from a 15th century Armenian manuscript of the Gospels.  The rendition was found in the nearly 200-year-old collection within the American Bible Society Library.

A respected worldwide distributor of Bibles and Bible resources, the American Bible Society has developed a guide in teaching about the life of Christ and His ministry according to the accounts of his followers.

The book is currently available through Bibles.com for an introductory price of $29.99--a 40 percent discount off of the list price of $49.99.  For more information, visit Bibles.com.
