  • The Impact and Influence of Erasmus's Greek New Testament
    HISTORICAL STUDIES The Impact and Influence of Erasmus’s Greek New Testament PETER J. GOEMAN Abstract Although often eclipsed by the giants of the Reformation, Desiderius Erasmus had a notable influence on the Reformation and the world that followed. Responsible for five editions of the Greek New Testament, his contributions include a renewed emphasis on the Greek over against the Latin of the day, as well as influence on subsequent Greek New Testaments and many translations, including Luther’s German Bible and the English King James Version. In God’s providence, Erasmus provided kindling for the fire of the Reformation.1 “ he name of Erasmus shall never perish.” Time has proved these words, spoken by one of his friends in the early 1500s, to be true. Today, Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam is recognized as a key figure—especially in regard to his influence on Bible translation and textual criticism. Although his fame has been Tsuperseded by the heroes of the Reformation, many of them were benefi- ciaries of his hard work. The Reformers owed him much. In the English- speaking world, the average person may not know Erasmus’s name, yet those who read the Bible today are indebted both to his contribution and to those he influenced. 1 I would like to thank my friends and colleagues Abner Chou and Will Varner for reading an earlier version of this article and providing valuable feedback. 69 70 UNIO CUM CHRISTO ›› UNIOCC.COM Much has been written about Erasmus’s life, and this article will focus on his work on the Greek New Testament.

  • Text Criticism Worksheet True Or False Decide Whether Each of the Following Statements Are True Or False
    LG1200‐50 | New Testament Greek [email protected] Text Criticism Worksheet True or False Decide whether each of the following statements are true or false. T or F 1. We have no autographs (i.e. manuscripts written by the authors themselves and their scribes) of the New Testament. 2. The Nestle‐Aland 27th ed. text is the original Greek text of the New Testament. 3. Some of the differences between NT manuscripts are due to errors made when the scribe’s eye accidently skipped a word or a line. 4. If text critics determine that a scribe attempted to smooth out the style of a passage or correct its grammar, they will probably decide to use the smoothed out version. 5. Of the three text families, the Alexandrian family of manuscripts is usually thought to be the most faithful to the original. 6. The Textus Receptus, or received text, is usually thought to be the most faithful to the original. 7. Papyri (signaled by the script letter î) are the oldest manuscripts we have. 8. Another word for manuscript is “witness.” 9. The codex Alexandrinus is not in the Alexandrian family of texts. 10. The more manuscripts we have that testify to a particular reading, the more likely that reading is the original. 11. Some of the differences between NT manuscripts are due to error made when the scribe replaced one word with another that sounded similar. 12. As a general rule, when trying to decide between two manuscripts, the shorter reading is to be preferred. Types of Evidence The text critic analyzes both external evidence and internal evidence to determine which reading of a particular disputed text is to be preferred.

  • The King James Version of the Bible a Valley Bible Church Position Paper
    The King James Version of the Bible A Valley Bible Church Position Paper www.valleybible.net The King James Version was completed in 1611 as an attempt to have the Church of England use one Bible translation rather than the several which were in use at the time. As the years went by it became the primary version used in the English speaking world for hundreds of years. It is an excellent, literal translation that has served the church well for many years. The translators provided a great service to the church by producing such a fine work in light of their limited resources. Yet over time language changes. This is one reason for the popularity of more modern translations such as the New American Standard Bible, the New King James Version and the New International Version. Many have found the King James Version to be written in a style and with vocabulary that has become archaic. Not only has the style become difficult for today's reader, many of the words have lost or changed their meaning (e.g. suffer, quick, allege, let, conversation). This becomes more significant when we learn of the KJV translators desired the Word of God to be readable for the common person. They write in the preface to the first edition, "But we desire that the Scripture may speak like itself, as in the language of Canaan, that it may be understood even of the very vulgar [common person]." Yet others have grown up reading the King James Version and prefer its style over all other translations, though they are not opposed to other translations.

  • Transmission and Preservation of the Biblical Text
    Transmission and Preservation of the Biblical Text By Ekkehardt Mueller Some people have been perplexed by the difference in translation of various Bible texts as well as some additions or deletions of parts of verses in Scripture. In order to evaluate these claims we need to understand how biblical texts were preserved and transmitted. This brief overview intends to provide some basic concepts with which to respond to such irritations. Given space constraints, the present study addresses the issue from the perspective of the New Testament. At the outset we should keep in mind that the NT documents were written in a brief period of a few decades instead of more than a millennium, as was the case with the Old Testament. We also do not have autographs but only copies, which were preserved in papyrus and animal skins (parchment). The NT books had to be copied not only because the material used for writing was deteriorating but also because Christianity grew and the churches needed the writings of the New Testament. Categories of Manuscripts Almost six thousand NT manuscripts are currently available. In addition, there are also translations in ancient languages—such as Syriac, Latin, Coptic, Armenian, and Ethiopic—and references to Scripture in the church fathers.1 The number of Greek manuscripts grows as new documents are discovered. These NT manuscripts come to us in four categories:2 Papyri. They are in uncial script (uppercase letters). Only about one hundred of the papyri have been preserved and found. Most of them come from Egypt where the dry climate is conducive to longer preservation.

  • Translation Is Legitimate
    “DON’T LET ANYBODY TELL YOU ONLY ONE STYLE OF TRANSLATION IS LEGITIMATE. WE ARE A RICH AND BLESSED PEOPLE TO HAVE SO MANY EXCELLENT ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS TO CHOOSE FROM.” — FROM MARK TAYLOR BIBLE TRANSLATION BY MARK D. TAYLOR PRESIDENT, TYNDALE HOUSE PUBLISHERS CHIEF STYLIST, NEW LIVING TRANSLATION HISTORY OF TRANSLATION {BETWEEN 1450 BC {AD 382} {1455} AND 430 BC} Jerome’s Latin Vulgate The Gutenberg Bible (Latin Old Testament written commissioned—all Vulgate)—first Bible to be books first combined printed using movable- into one volume type printing press {BETWEEN AD 45 {1380} {1526} AND AD 95} First complete English Bible— William Tyndale translates New Testament written translated from Latin texts and original Hebrew and Greek handwritten by John Wycliffe Scriptures into English for and dedicated scribes the common “plowboy” WHAT IS TRANSLATION? Translation involves communicating a message from one language to another. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A BIBLE TRANSLATION? ANSWER 1: A Bible translation seeks to reproduce the meaning from the original language texts of Scripture into another language, and to elicit the intended response of the original texts from readers and listeners of the new language. ANSWER 2: It depends on the intended use of the translation: contrast a translation intended for young children versus one intended for use in a college hermeneutics course versus one intended for public reading in church services. The purposes of various translations will call for differing approaches to translation. DEFINITIONS: » FORMAL EQUIVALENCE (also known as word-for-word translation): This style of translation seeks to translate each word, while preserving original word order and sentence structure as much as possible.

Perraud University of Idaho The part the Disticha (or Dicta) Catonis played in Erasmus's career is only one event in the work's long and honorable history. 1 The Cato was composed by an anonymous author during the later Roman principate.2 As presented in the oldest manuscripts, the work consists of prose sententia,e followed by four books of hexameter couplets. The whole is ornamented with a prose preface, and the second, third, and fourth books of hexameters have verse prologues of ten, four, and four lines respectively. 3 The "Cato" to whom the work is attributed is probably either that redoubtable critic of Roman morals, Cato the Censor (234-149 B.C.), or the Stoic hero Cato of Utica (95-46 B.C.).

Despite the claims to the contrary which are put forward by scholars such as Metzger and the Alands, there are indeed some very serious changes, doctrinal changes, which exist between the King James Version and these newer versions. It is often heard that "the differences are very minor" and that they "don't affect doctrine,” but this is simply untrue, as ought to be obvious to anyone who takes the time to actually sit down and compare the King James against the modern revisions.
