the NWT judged the most accurate by bible theologen?
Subject: FW: Comments on NWT from “TRUTH IN TRANSLATION” by
Jason David BeDuhn
Book: “TRUTH IN TRANSLATION: ACCURACY AND BIAS IN ENGLISH
TRANSLATIONS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT”
University in Flagstaff. He holds a B.A. in Religious Studies form the University of Illinois.,
Urbana, an M.T.S. in New Testament and Christian Origins form Harvard Divinity School
and a Ph.D. in Comparative Study of Religions form Indiana Universitv. Bloomington.)
The Eight English Translations Compared in BeDuhn’s book
are: – The King James Version (KJV) – The Amplified Bible
(AB)
- The Living Bible (LB)
- The New American Bible (NAB)
- The New American Standard Bible
(NASB) – The New International Version
(NIV) – The New World Translation (NW)
- The (New) Revised Standard Version
(NRSV) – Today’s English Version (TEV)
Excerpts from his book:
Actually under the word for word translation of the Diaglott, (left side of the page)
It reads “a god was the word.”
http://www.thedcl.org/bible/diaglott-nt/ed-john.pdf
The NAB in it’s foot note states: “Was God: lack of a definite article with “God” in Greek signifies predication rather than identification. ”
Predication is another word meaning quality.
This means that God(2) means the Word has Godly qualities.
http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/john/john1.htm
I found this interesting quote yesterday.
Concerning the NIV:
Bruce Metzger: “It is surprising that translators who profess to have ‘a high view of scripture” should take liberties with text by omitting words or, more often, by adding words that are not in the manuscripts.”
In my years of study and research I can agree with Dr. BeDuhn I have yet found where the NWT has added or deleted words to ‘prove’ a bible teaching.
