MY QUESTION IS REGARDING THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE. "WHO" ACTUALLY WROTE/ADDED THEIR INTERPRETATIONS, THE WORDS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED - "AMPLIFYING " NASB? IS THERE A PREDOMINANT CHURCH WHICH USES THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE, AND IF SO, WHO AND WHY? ALSO, IS IT PRIMARILY USED FOR TEACHING, INTERPRETING, WHAT? |

Greetings Bethzrok! My understanding is that he Amplified Bible is published by the publishers of the NASB. I'm not aware of any Church which uses the Amplified Bible in an official capacity. The primary concept behind the Amplified Bible is that words in the original languages often have more than one meaning. So, rather than restrict the translation to one word choice, most or all of the options are listed together. I'm not a big fan of it overall, simply because it takes knowledge of the original languages to make the decision about which word or words best translates a particular word. So, to simply throw out all of the options for someone who is not trained to make those choices can cause more harm than good. But, many find it useful for helping them to understand more fully what the text is saying. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

THANK YOU TIM. I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT AND AGREE. I HAVE NOT SEEN AN AMPLIFIED VERSION - BUT HAVE HEARD SPEAKERS QUOTING FROM IT - WHICH DIFFERS FROM MY NIV. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CLARIFICATION. | ||||||
