Bible Question (short): Has anyone read BeDuhn's new book? |
Question (full): Has anyone read the new book by Greek scholar Jason BeDuhn - Truth in Translation? He lays out his criticism for the NASB translation of this verse. As regards the Amplified Bible, he says it is not a translation at all, but only reviewed it, along with 8 other widely published English translations, because of its popularity. He describes why the Amplified translation of Phil 2:6 bears little resemblance to the original Greek text. A "must read" for all truthseekers. |
