Have we not been told that - nay, we will not state what has been said by those who have cherished it, and loved it, and praised God for it, for nearly three centuries, for this would fill a volume but we will state what the revisers themselves say of our Authorized Translation. Speaking of the character of our time-honoured translation, they say: We have had to study this great version carefully and minutely, line by line, and the longer we have been engaged upon it the more we have learned to admire its simplicity, its dignity, its power, its happy turns of expression, its general accuracy, and, we must not fail to add, the music of its cadences, and the felicities of its rhythm.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling and informative critique of the Revised Version of the English New Testament. The author, a scholar and theologian, delves into the history and evolution of the Revised Version, examining its motivations, methods, and consequences. The author argues that the Revised Version, while well-intentioned, has made numerous questionable alterations to the text of the New Testament, often on the basis of unreliable manuscripts and dubious scholarship. The author demonstrates how these changes have affected the meaning and message of the Bible, and raises concerns about the potential implications for Christian doctrine and practice. Beyond its specific critique of the Revised Version, this book provides a broader examination of the principles of biblical translation and the challenges of preserving the integrity of the biblical text. The author explores the role of tradition, textual criticism, and theological interpretation in the process of translation, and offers valuable insights into the ongoing debate over the accuracy and authority of different Bible versions. Ultimately, this book is a passionate defense of the traditional text of the New Testament and a call for caution in embracing revisions that may undermine its essential message and meaning. It is a must-read for anyone interested in biblical studies, textual criticism, or the ongoing dialogue between faith and scholarship.
