Subject: Is the NWT more reliable than the NASB? |
Bible Note: Dear tsmith, Your statement regarding the NASB that "We have not used any scholars name for reverence or recommendations because it is our belief Gods' Word should stand on its merits" falls short of being completely truthful! While the printed copy of the NASB may state such, there is IN FACT a publically available list of the original translators: Original NASB translators Dr. Peter Ahn Dr. Warren Allen Dr. Gleason Archer Dr. Herman Austel Dr. Kenneth Lee Barker Dr. Fred Bush Dr. David L. Cooper Dr. Richard W. Cramer Dr. Edward R. Dalglish Dr. Charles Lee Feinberg Dr. Harvey Finley Dr. Paul Gray Dr. Edward F. Harrison Dr. John Hartley Dr. F. B Huey, Jr. Dr. Charles Isbell Dr. David W. Kerr Dr. William L. Lane Dr. Timothy Lin Dr. Oscar Lowry Dr. Elmer Martens Dr. Henry R. Moeller Dr. Reuben A. Olson Dr. J. Barton Payne Dr. Walter Penner Dr. John Rea Dr. W.L. Reed Dr. Robert N. Schaper Dr. Moisés Silva Dr. Ralph L. Smith Dr. Merrill C. Tenney Dr. Robert L. Thomas Dr. George Townsend Dr. Bruce Waltke Dr. Lowell C. Wendt Dr. William C. Williams Dr. Herbert M. Wolf Dr. Kenneth Wuest Dr. Fred Young As to your contention the the NWT has a vastly superior rendering of 2 Peter 3:10, I would ask superior in comparison to what standard? I think you comment falls more under the realm of personal opinion:-) The NWT translation is simply not recognized by any consensus of reputable Hebrew or Greek scholars as a valid translation. Would you care to provide a similar list of the NWT committee so that we may continue this discussion in all fairness? Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
