1 | Literal translations like the NASB | 2 Tim 3:16 | Dalcent | 156071 | ||
If God inspired the very 'words' of Scripture, which I think everyone here would agree. Then surely this restricts us to essentially literal translations of the Bible and rules out 'thought-per-thought' versions. Am I being harsh? Furthermore, most would agree that a 'word-per-word' translation makes it far harder for the translator to become an interpreter. Anyone care to articulate a succinct summary of the theory of plenary inspiration please. God inspired the 'very words' did he not? |

Hello Dalcent, I would say that 'thought-per-thought' translations are not Bibles. They are rather commentaries. Having said that, I would add that literal translations require some laxity in order to translate idioms properly. Steve |
