Bible Question: Can someone tell me about original greek texts such as how the KJV was translated and from(what text) what is the problem with the Wescott and Hort text and so on. What are the most reliable manuscripts and what versions are translated from those manuscripts |
Bible Answer: The King James Version was translated from St. Jeromes "Vulgate" Jerome is considered to be a founding father of the church. His translation was written in Latin, from the original Greek and Hebrew. The KJV translation only includes material from before the 1600's. The "newKJV" elimnates the "thee's and thous" fromt the text. In the research I have done recently the best literal interpretation of the bible is the NASB, or the RSV (Not the New RSV) Hope this helps |
