Is the 1611 King James Version the only good English translation of the Bible? https://hubs.li/Q02PW0fd0

It is excellent news that one of John Hick's most important works has been translated into Persian. The book "Faith and Knowledge" explores Hick's proposed structure of faith, in which he argues that faith is a "total interpretation" of the world. According to Hick, faith involves understanding the fundamental aspects of human experience, known as "religious significance." I hope I get the chance to discuss the book's importance and its translation quality.

New American Standard Bible - NASB 2020 The NASB 2020 maintains faithful accuracy to the original texts and modernizes the English so that it is properly understood by readers most familiar with modern English language standards.

To stay posted on specialised translation, if it is to your liking, here is a sample of the updated translation of the Bible according to Joe Biden. [https://lnkd.in/dfDm9txg]

Many early Christian translators, such as William Tyndale, faced persecution and even death for their work. Tyndale was executed in 1536 for translating the Bible into English, but his work laid the foundation for future translations and greatly influenced the King James Version. #Christian #Translation #Gospel #Christiantranslation #Bible #BibleTranslation #Gospel #Translate #Translationservices #BookTranslation #Audiotranslation #Languagetranslation #Sermontranslation #ChristianLingua

DON'T PANIC! We get people almost every week at our store that are concerned about alleged missing verses from modern translations of the Bible. And you should be informed as to where our English translations of scripture come from. The reason these verses "are not in" newer translations is because the textual evidence doesn't support them being in the original Greek manuscripts. The simplified version is that the KJV version used the oldest Greek manuscripts available to them at the time, but with the discovery of older documents, we have discovered that the manuscripts the KJV used had some additions that are not present in the older copies. Newer translations typically include these verses in the footnotes with the disclaimer that they are not found in the earliest Greek manuscripts that we now posses. The good news is, no additions are so grievous that they change any core Christian doctrine! There is no massive conspiracy regarding our English translations (though I agree some are better than others), but if you are worried about it, learn Greek! The KJV is not perfect either!

This was recently shared by a friend, and I thought it was powerful and needed to be reported. This shows why we need a good Bible translation. Look at how many different ways the KJV translated the Greek word AION and AIONIOS. (Other common Bible translations are much the same.) But in the Concordant Literal New Testament "aion" is always transliterated in its Anglicized form as "eon" and "aionios" is always transliterated "eonian" From the booklet "Eonian, Everlasting or Age-lasting" (available from Concordant.org) … The Concordant Version consistently translated AIWN (pronounced "I OWN") as "eon" and AIWNIOS (pronounced "I OWN E OS) as "eonian" in every verse. When considering the words God has chosen to reveal to us, it's important to get as close to the original manuscripts as possible -- not relying on the common English translations which conflict with one another and which often contain MUCH tradition and opinion from the translator.

📖 Something I do I don't often talk about is read books that have to do with translation and with my specialisms. 💡 What I don't often find are books that have to do with translation of Christian contents. Of course, a lot has been said about Bible translation, it is probably where translation studies started, but translating Christianity and Christian contents is a whole different thing. That is why I am very much looking forward to reading this book by Jonathan Downie I expect to find situations I can relate to, but also content that challenges me and my environment to serve our communities better. #translation #mission #greatComission
