You are probably referring to Bruce's Expanded Paraphrase of the Epistles of Paul (1981). There is an inexpensive copy available on Alibris currently.

The list has some very serious omissions and errors. A couple of error examples: Lamsa published The Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts: Containing the Old and New Testaments in 1957 (not 1933, although that was the year he published his The Four Gospels According to the Eastern...

I didn't recognize some of these older titles; no wonder, these are not their more common titles and many of the dates are incorrect (nor are the translator/editors names included). My sources are primarily the Bible Version Encylopedia by Bradford Taliaferro (First Edition) or Michale Marlowe's...

Indeed, the Women's Bible (1895) is a revision of Julia Smith's translation. This agenda-driven version allows some passages (especially those referring to women) to become influenced by feminist theology. It is an early example of inclusive language. The Literary Man's Bible (1909) is not a...

Ironic, isnt it? That the RSV was not the text being "revised" but rather the one you chose.

William Tyndale's first published New Testament was probably 1526 (1516 is the year in which Eramus' Greek NT was published). Tyndale's more famous edition was likely released late in 1534 (not in the above list). Coverdale is misspelled in the above list (Where did this list come from?). I also...

The Shorter Bible (NT actually released in 1918; OT in 1921) is a descriptive title; it is an abridged original translation by Charles Foster Kent (a well repected scholar of his time, I believe). It seems that condensed versions were popular in the early 20th century; I have a couple of...

All 'Bible' lists seem to have problems, and this list is no exception. Enumerating follows. Here are just a few example problems -- First, this list is clearly incomplete. I had in 2009 introduced this forum to 4 or 5 new 'Bible' translation projects (the CEB, TKJB, SENT, The Voice, and the...

Welcome to the BB, Dale. Thanks for sharing how you came to select the Bible version you use.

Revmitchell, the American flag beside your name is displayed upside down. Are you indicating a signal of distress? Otherwise, the US flag is being dishonored in that orientation.

Nevermind, I wasn't fast enough.

Then you're guilty of the same 'crime' (as roby was only citing dictionary information).

Almost, and this is what makes it clumsy to translate into English: it actually indicates a male mature enough to stand upright (which definitely excludes male infants); in practice it probably meant the class of males from the ages of about 12 years and up.

I agree. And I think that King Saul used extremely vulgar language (call it 'cussing' in Hebrew if you will) when communicating his anger in 1 Samuel 20. Look at how it is translated in other versions and you get the sense of what he said about Jonathan (his birth-mother anyway). I'd be...

You have received some good advise here; allow me to emphasize a few-- No format facilitates the comparison of passages better than a parallel Bible (as SALTCITYBAPTIST suggested). I have several with 8 translations (across 2 pages) and the KJV and the NIV are often included as versions among...

"Brethren, how fine a thing it is to move from festival to festival, from prayer to prayer, from holy day to holy day. The time is now at hand when we enter on a new beginning: the proclamation of the blessed Passover, in which the Lord was sacrificed. We feed as on the food of life, we...

Looking carefully at this definition it seems to me that Warfield is stating that Inspiration is exerted "on the writers", rather than upon the words. He states that Inspiration is an "extraordinary supernatural influence". Cognitive humans can be influenced; but inanimate words cannot be...

Good memory, the word "begotten" is not there. However, the word "born" is there instead. But how would that indicate a TR-base? For God so loved the world that He gave His only born Son, that all who believe on Him shall not die, but have everlasting life. (Norlie)

Correct; individual manuscripts are not perfect. However, collectively the manuscript witnesses can overcome the problem of individual imperfections. You say copies are not infallible; but you also say that "no doctrine has been affected" (that we indeed have the "Word of God"). 'Sound...

The certainty of the accuracy to the autographs comes by the preponderance of the witnesses (original language manuscripts, writings of Church Fathers, lextionaries, ancient foreign versions). Just as certainly as a suspect can be tried without an incriminating confession when there is...
