The New Testament – Dutch Edition

This Dutch-language edition of The New Testament was published by Uitgeverij Het Spectrum in the 1930s–1940s. It is a compact paperback / softcover book, intended for personal use, study, and devotion.

The book is printed in a sober yet recognizable design, featuring a red and black cover and the Chi-Rho symbol on the front and spine—a early Christian symbol of Christ. The text is a translation from the original sources, published on behalf of the apologetic association Petrus Canisius.

The edition is ecclesiastically approved; the imprimatur is included in the book, indicating official approval within the Roman Catholic tradition of that period.
