Dr. Jason BeDuhn, who teaches at the University of Indiana, made this comment concerning The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures,"I have just recently completed teaching a course for the Religious Studies Department of Indiana University, Bloomington, ...This is primarily a course in the Gospels. Your help came in the form of copies of the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures which my students used as one of the textbooks for the class. These small volumes were invaluable to the course and very popular with my students...Simply put, it is the best interlinear New Testament available. I am a trained scholar of the Bible, familiar with the texts and tools in use in modern biblical studies, and by the way, not a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses. But I know a quality publication when I see one, and your 'New World Bible Translation Committee' has done its job well. Your interlinear English rendering is accurate and consistent to an extreme that forces the reader to come to terms with the linguistic, cultural, and conceptual gaps between the Greek-speaking world and our own. Your 'New World Translation' is a high quality, literal translation that avoids traditional glosses in its faithfulness to the Greek. It is, in many ways, superior to the most successful translations in use today." |

Greetings Jehonadab! There are two problems with your use of Dr. Jason BeDuhn's support for the Kingdom Interlinear. 1) First of all, his degree is in Comparative Religions, not Biblical languages. So, while he is most certainly entitled to his opinion, it counts for no more than mine, since I have had about the same level of Greek training as he has had. 2) Secondly, those who are recognized as experts in Greek do not hold the same opinion as Dr. Jason BeDuhn at all. This is especially true since the JW's will not release the names and/or qualifications of those who are supposed to have done the translation work. I would definitely recommend everyone to stay away from anything produced by the JW's. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
