Choosing a Bible by Leland Ryken Pdf

Of the many Bible translations available today, are some better than others? If so, what criteria can we use to determine what makes a good translation? Leland Ryken introduces readers to the central issues in this debate and presents several reasons why essentially literal-word-for-word-translations are superior to dynamic equivalent-thought-for-thought-translations. You don't have to be a Bible scholar to recognize the need for a quality Bible translation. We all want to know that the Bible we read, study, and memorize is faithful to the original. Dr. Ryken tackles this issue and breaks it down in this concise, logical, and straightforward book, giving readers a valuable tool for selecting a Bible translation.

Differences Between Bible Versions: Third Edition by Gary F. Zeolla Pdf

This book answers such questions as: Why do Bible versions differ? Why does the same verse read differently in different versions? Why do some versions contain words, phrases, and even entire verses that other versions omit? Which Bible versions are most reliable?This book contains extensive discussions on why the author believes either a literal or a formal equivalence ("word-for-word") translation principle is the best method to use for translating the Bible. These principles of translating are contrasted with the dynamic equivalence ("phrase for phrase") and paraphrase methods seen in many modern Bible versions.This book includes detailed discussions on why the author believes the Majority Text is the most accurate of the three Greek texts used in Bible translation.This book also contains an extended section critiquing the claims of "KJV-onlyists."In addressing these various issues, Differences Between Bible Versions compares forty different versions of the Bible.

Bible Translations by Roland H. Worth Pdf

Since the Greeks first translated the Hebrew Bible (the Septuagint version), each new translation has been colored by theological assumptions and marked by controversies. Using documents by the translators themselves, early material about Bible translations, and contemporary justifications (and criticisms) of various existing and proposed translations, this book looks at numerous prominent Bible renderings, including Hebrew to Greek, post-Septuagint, European, and English translations. Introductory essays set each extract in historical context.
