Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Books of the New Testament The perfection of modern printing and the beauty and compactness of our present-day books undoubtedly cause certain loss to the reader of the New Testament. It is charming and convenient to have that greatest of all literature in such compass that one can carry it in a tiny little book. But its very form prevents the reader from realising that he has a library rather than a single work, a literature rather than a volume.

Download or read book The New Testament of Our Lord Savior Jesus Christ written by American Bible Union and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Testament of Our Lord Savior Jesus Christ: The Common English Version It is the object of the following revised version of the Gospels, to give a faithful expression of the meaning of the Sacred Text; and to do this, as far as is possible, in the words of the common English version. The Committee of Revisers have kept in mind, that their work is intended for the use of the common reader; and that many of the nicer distinctions of idiom and phraseology, which are appropriate in a version for the learned, or for use in the lecture-room, would be out of place here. In accordance with the object of the Society, for whose use this revision is prepared, to obtain a true and faithful rendering of the inspired text, the words which express the initiatory rite of the Christian Church are rendered by their literal equivalents, as was done by Luther and others, in the versions from the Greek into the vernacular languages of the continent of Europe. It is proper to say, that there is a difference of opinion among the members of the Committee, in regard to the substitution of 'the Immerser' for 'the Baptist.' In the view of a part of the Committee, if the verb which expresses the Christian rite is translated, the official title derived from it should be translated also. Others object to this as an inconsistency, in a revision which transfers other official titles (as 'the Christ, ' instead of 'the Anointed'), and as leading to confusion and inconvenience, by substituting new and unknown names of historical personages, for those by which they are universally known in English usage. This word, though employed in this edition, is subject to further consideration by the Committee. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The First Printed English New Testament Classic Reprint written by William Tyndale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Printed English New Testament At the outset, however, we must limit this testimony to these first two editions only. Afterwards came 'thicker and threefold' into England, editions both of the New Testament and of the Bible. Some of these attempted an accurate authenticity, being produced solely from a love to God and Truth others were surreptitiously and often carelessly produced by speculators, for the mere sake of money. All these can only be rightly analysed and adjudged in a thorough and complete History of the English Bible, both manuscript and printed.' A work yet to be written; though the way has been made smoother by such pioneers as Rev. J. Fqrshall, Sir F. Madden; Revs. J. Lewis, H. Cotton, Canon B. F. West cott Messrs. Lea wilson, C. Anderson, G. Offor, F. Fry, and others. Such a work would be based upon deep sacred interest. It would record a marvellous story of human heroism and self denial, of untiring effort and labour. It would catalogue all known editions, all accessnble early copies, and point out their various difl'erences. And, with it, would be largely in terwoven the political and social history of what may be looked upon as our Biblical Century - that hundred years, roughly speakin of incessant Biblical translation and revision, which was crowned wit]? That literary marvel, the present authorized version. What Froude has done for the Court and Political History of our Reformation what Macaulay for twenty years later on in our National History; might, with even a more interesting subject - the most interesting of all literary subjects to many - be done for the Story of the Word of God in English. Is any man so bold, so earnest, so devout, as to attempt this work i In adducing this Testimony from original sources, and in eliminating it from the confusion of many conflicting and perplexing statements, it will be convenient to quote each passage, once for all, in its principal place though it may occasionally anticipate somewhat in time, or contain traneous matter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twentieth Century New Testament, Vol. 3 of 3: A Translation Into Modern English Made From the Original Greek (Wescott and Hort's Text); The Pastoral, Personal, and General Letters; And the Revelation The translation now Offered to the public had its origin in the discovery that the English Of the Authorized Version (closely followed in that of the Revised Version), though valued by the more educated reader for its antique charm, is in many passages difficult for those who are less educated, or is even unintelligible to them. The reten tion, too, of a form of English no longer in common use not only gives the impression that the contents Of the Bible have little to do with the life of our own day, but also requires the expenditure of much time and labour on the part Of those who wish to understand or explain it. The Greek used by the New Testament writers was not the Classical Greek Of some centuries before, but the form of the language then spoken. Moreover, the writers represent those whose utterances they record as using the words and phrases of ordinary conversation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Testament in English: According to the Version by John Wycliffe, About A. D. 1380, and Revised by John Purvey, About A. D. 1388 In reprinting a portion of the Oxford edition of 1850, two questions presented themselves for consideration: first, as to how much should be reprinted; and, secondly, which version should be followed? The Oxford edition is, as has been said, in 4 vols., quarto. Vol. I contains a Preface, pp. I - xxxviii, discussing the Anglo Saxon versions of Scripture, middle-english verse-translations, various versions of the Psalter, the first version of the whole Bible (due mainly to Wycliffe), Wycliffe's Commentary on the Apocalypse and on the Gospels, other works by Wycliffe having respect to the Scriptures, with an abundance of useful and valu able information of a similar kind. The List of Manuscripts examined and described follows next, pp. Xxxix - lxiv. After this comes a General Prologue to the whole Bible, of considerable length, in fifteen chapters, written by John Purvey; pp. 1 - 60. Next, a translation, in earlier and later versions, of the Prefatory Epistles of St. Jerome, in nine chapters; pp. 61-78. Next, a translation, in the two versions, of Genesis to Ruth, pp. 79 - 687 each of these books of the Bible (with the exception of Genesis) being preceded by a brief Prologue, indicative of the contents of the book to which it is prefixed. By way of example the Pro logue to Ruth (a very short one) is here given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Texts of the New Testament There are secrets hidden in every tiny ower and grain of sand, in every throbbing nerve and aching heart, which our keenest wisdom cannot discover. Every tear is a profound mystery, every Sigh is a world of unimaginable things. No one can tell us why we laugh or why we cry. NO one can read his brother's mind or understand his own. He who has studied human nature most closely has but touched the Surface of it. Those who can tell us most about man can only prove that he is fearfully and wonder fully made. Men who have been investigating for a lifetime the sins, sorrows, and diseases of the World, find that these are still the everlasting riddle; and he whose faith has given him the clearest vision of God, knows that these are but a portion of His ways, and the thunders of His power none can understand. The highest philosophy still prattles and stammers and guesses like a child, and we all have to kneel down humbly declaring that our wisdom is but dim eyed folly, and repeating these words of Paul: Now we see through a glass, darkly: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as 1 am known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twentieth Century New Testament, Vol. 2 of 3: A Translation Into Modern English In response to many urgent requests from readers of Part I. Of this translation we have departed from our original intention of issuing the work in two volumes, and are publishing these Letters of St. Paul to the Churches without waiting to complete our version of the remainder of the New Testament. This portion of the translation has been made on exactly the same principles as the earlier portion. But our statement in the Preface to Part I., that no purely literal rendering can ever adequately represent the thoughts conveyed in the idioms of another language, applies with even greater force to the involved and often unfinished sentences of these Letters than it does to the simple narratives of the Gospels and the Acts. While, therefore, this version is a translation, and not a para phrase, we have felt bound to use as much freedom of rendering as is consistent with fidelity to the true sense of the original Greek.
