  • NEW AMERICAN BIBLE (NAB) Catholic. a Translation from the Original Languages by a Group of Roman Catholic Scholars Done in the 1970S and Revised in the 1980S
    NEW AMERICAN BIBLE (NAB) Catholic. A translation from the original languages by a group of Roman Catholic scholars done in the 1970s and revised in the 1980s. Also includes helpful reading notes. A good study Bible. NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE (NASB or NASV) In 1901 the American Standard Version was produced by American Protestants who reworked the Revised Version (not the RSV), which was a revision of the KJV done by British Scholars on the basis of available manuscipts. It used readings preferred by the Americans and with "American" English and weights and measures. In 1963/71 a conservative revision of this became the NASB. They used the most up to date critical editions of the biblical texts and attempted to be as literal as possible in terms of translation and sentence structure. A good Bible for close textual study. CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH BIBLE (CEV) A rendering of the intent of the Hebrew and Greek text published in 1995 by the American Bible Society. It uses inclusive gender language and is sensitive to concerns over Jewish sensitivities. There is some controversy over this version's claim to contain no anti-Judaism since there are biblical texts which seem, in the original, to express such sentiments. The interpretive translation strategy eliminates these and sometimes masks the language of the original writer. Although this is done to help modern readers avoid drawing wrong inferences about Judaism, this version is sometimes less of a translation and more of a commentary. A readable version but should be used with caution and checked against other versions.

  • Versions and Translations the Following Outlines Some of the Key
    Versions and Translations The following outlines some of the key characteristics of several Bibles currently in use. A number of the Bible translations most popular in the Western world today can be found in searchable form online (see: http://www.ntgateway.com/bible-translations/). The King James Version (KJV) The translation was planned from 1604 and published in 1611 under the auspices of King James VI of England. This Bible has become one of the most influential English books in modern Western civilization. It served as a unifier of English politics and religious disagreements. The King James Bible uses an economy of words and voices beautiful cadences that have led many to call it elegant. It remains a favorite in many Protestant circles. The Douay-Rheims Bible The first English translation for Roman Catholics was produced in Douay and Rheims in France from 1582-1610. It is based not upon the Hebrew and Greek text but rather the Vulgate, the Latin translation that was the authoritative Bible for the Catholic Church for much of its history. Its close adherence to the Latin makes many passages difficult for contemporary readers to understand, and it has largely fallen into disuse in many Catholic quarters. It is sometimes called the Rheims-Douay Bible. The American Standard Version (ASV) The growing sense that the KJV was based on less-than-ideal manuscripts and philological knowledge led to the British Revised Version in 1885. An American edition, the ASV, came out in 1901 and represented several hundred further emendations to suit its American audience. The ASV is sometimes thought of as by students of biblical languages as a particularly “wooden” translation, and it does in some respects seek to replicate the feel of the original, for example in using “Jehovah” rather than “Lord,” or “Sheol” rather than “grave/Hell.” However, the ASV is also quite euphemistic in places.

  • The Anti-Catholic Bible – Part I the Anti‐Catholic Bible
    The Anti-Catholic Bible – Part I The Anti‐Catholic Bible Loraine Boettner was a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church in the first part of the 20th century – and an anti‐Catholic of the highest order. In 1962, he wrote a book called “Roman Catholicism”, which quickly became THE authoritative source for Protestant clergy regarding all things Catholic. The problem is that MOST of it is simply false. The following list of “Catholic Inventions” is taken right out of Boettner’s deeply flawed and defamatory book. He plays fast and loose with the facts and dates in his vilifying diatribe against the Church. It’s disturbing that in this day of so much available information, many non‐ Catholic groups still use this bogus list to find fault with the Catholic Church – never investigating the fact that most of its claims are patently false, petty and embarrassingly ignorant. This list or variations of it on can be found on many anti‐Catholic websites and literature. The Anti‐Catholic Bible (cont’d) Boettner wanted to cast a negative light on the disciplines introduced by the Catholic Church and doctrines declared. He wanted to show that they were nothing more than man‐made “inventions” because they were not explicitly taught in the Bible. As you will see, he was dead wrong. The doctrinal and dogmatic decrees made by the Church are Scripturally‐based while other matters of discipline were declared to accommodate the needs of the growing worldwide Church. Aside from Boettner’s attacks being false, it is interesting to note that Protestants have also added some of their own traditions such as altar calls, individual interpretation of Scripture, the withholding of baptism from infants and Sola Scriptura that have no basis in Scripture.

  • The Origins of the Bible in English
    The Origins of the Bible in English John Samaha How did the Bible come to us in English? The Old Testament writings were inscribed in Hebrew and other ancient languages. We know that the Good News was passed on by word of mouth immediately after the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. Only decades later was the oral tradition put into written form, primarily in Greek. By the fifth century st. Jerome had translated the Bible into Latin. This was called the Latin Vulgate. In these pre-medieval times all writings were copied by hand. The whole of the Holy Bible did not appear in English until the middle of the second millennium. It was a slow and troubled accomplishment. The production of the Bible emerged from a complicated past filled with intrigue and controversy, persecution and martyrdom. What happened? At best, translation is a difficult and tricky task. An Italian adage says the translator is a traitor. In those early times it was a matter of life and death embroiled in historical, cultural, political, and religious clashes. But from that turmoil in those tumultuous times by dint of persevering and dedicated scholars the first English translations sa~ light of day. Briefly, this is what happened. Christianity arrived on the shores of England in the seventh century in the person of St. Augustine of Canterbury and the missionary efforts that followed. Already at that time Caedmon, an illiterate herdsman, sang the Good News in Anglo-Saxon poetry. In the next century other preachers continued to provide biblical translations of sorts.
