Bible Question:
I address this to anyone that has even a passing interest in Bible Translations. I was referred to this site by Makarios to whom I’m indebted, thank you! The discussion found at the site reveals the problems the translators are faced with when attempting to translate the Bible. It shows what can happen as attempts are made to make the passages understandable, the results can be a loss of the intended meaning of the writer. Please as I said before if you have even a passing interest in Bible translation please take the time to read this article. It is found at http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2001/013/5.28.html EdB |
Bible Answer: Hi Ed I'm subscribed to a Bible translation mail list, and the things mentioned in the article get debated quite often. I side with the author in desiring "transparent" translations for serious study. But my NLT comes in handy for referencing. Steve |
