Bible Note: If you think the Amplified Bible is a "paraphrase," you have been misled. From the Preface of the Amplified Bible, 1965, 1987: The purpose of the Amplified Bible "is to reveal, together with the single English word equivalent to each key Hebrew and Greek word, any other clarifying meanings that may be concealed by the traditional translation method." Notice the purpose of the Amplified is to reveal, "WITH the single English word equivalent", not INSTEAD OF the single English word equivalent. "...the creative use of amplification merely helps the reader comprehend what the Hebrew and Greek listener instinctively understood (as a matter of course)." Notice the use of the word amplification. Amplification -- not paraphrase. This version expresses "the perspective of an individual paraphraser (vs. translator)"? From the Preface to the Amplified New Testament, 1958: "An Editorial Committee gave dedicated and diligent attention to the manuscript. The edited and proofed *translation* was then submitted to three qualified Greek consultants." Notice it says "translation" -- not "paraphrase." "Twenty-seven translations and versions of the New Testament in whole or in part were assiduously examined and the greatest lexicographers of all times continually consulted . . . A fourfold aim for this version has been kept in view: "1. That it should be true to the original Greek . " (Emphasis added in the above quotations.) Oh, by the way, welcome to "StudyBibleForum.com brought to you by the *translators* of the New American Standard, *AMPLIFIED*, and La Biblia de las Américas Bibles" (emphasis added). |
