  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

  • THE ISSUE of REBAPTISM at Issue Is How We Are to Understand the Purpose of Baptism As Well As the Mode of Baptism
    THE ISSUE OF REBAPTISM At issue is how we are to understand the purpose of baptism as well as the mode of baptism. If baptism if for the purpose of receiving forgiveness from God for past sins, then one does not have salvation prior to baptism - because salvation cannot be granted us while we are still in our sinful state. If baptism is not for the purpose of receiving forgiveness for past sins, then it is not essential to salvation because our sinful state was changed prior to baptism. In this case, baptism is understood as a required rite, but one that only "testifies" to the forgiveness, acceptance, that God has already granted us. One key text in this discussion (but not the only one) is Acts 2:38. Below are several English translation renderings of this text. King James Version - "for the remission of sins. American Standard Version - "unto the remission of sins. New King James Version - "for the remission of sins." New International Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Revised Standard Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." New Revised Standard Version - "so that your sins may be forgiven." New American Standard Bible - " for the forgiveness of your sins." World English Bible - "for the forgiveness of sins." Bible in Basic English - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Contemporary English Version - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Good News Bible - "so that your sins will be forgiven." God's Word - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Young's Literal Translation - "to remission of sins." Modern King James Version

  • The Living Bible
    The Living Bible Once upon a time in a far-away land there lived a certain godly man with many little children. His heart yearned to teach his children about Jesus. So he would gather them together every evening to hear him read from the Bible. Then he would ask them ques- tions about what he had read to be sure that they understood. But they did not under- stand. And so the man would explain using words that they easily understood. Then the children would ask, “Why didn’t they just write it like that in the first place?” This set the man on a journey to translate the Bible as a “thought-for-thought” transla- tion that even a child could follow. He did this from copies of the oldest Greek & Hebrew manuscripts that were available, for he knew both languages. His paraphrase transla- tion became known as “The Living Bible”. Once again the Bible came alive to people of yet another generation. The book quickly became very popular and spread to distant lands, even ours here in the USA. The man is Kenneth Taylor of England, but you will not find his name in the book. He is a humble man. He was even humble enough to come speak at the country church that I attended at that time many years ago in Fayette, Maine. So respectful is he of God and God’s Word that some of the last verses of the Bible troubled him; “And I solemnly declare to everyone who reads this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God shall add to him the plagues described in this book.

  • The Living Bible
    The Living Bible By Rev. D. Engelsma The Living Bible of Kenneth Taylor has become a popular, widely used version of the Bible. It appears in many forms: Reach Out; The Greatest is Love; The Way; Living Letters; the Highest Flight; etc. Its appeal is its claim that it presents the Word of God in clear, current understandable language, especially for the young. In fact, however, The Living Bible is an attack on the Word of God, Holy Scripture. It is a loose paraphrase of Scripture, instead of an accurate translation. This paraphrase is corrupted throughout by the private interpretations of the one who did the paraphrasing, so that, although the book claims to be the Bible - the Word of God - it is not the Bible, but a human book, full of man’s words. What is still worse, this version represents a deliberate attempt to destroy certain fundamental doctrines of Scripture. It does this by changing, or eliding, the words of the Bible which teach these doctrines. The Living Bible is an all-out attack on the Reformed faith. It is the “bible” of Arminianism, that false gospel that teaches that man must save himself by his own free will. That these charges are correct is readily shown. The concerned child of God (and what child of God can remain unconcerned about the corrupting of Holy Scripture?) can compare for himself the passages that I will mention in The Living Bible with the correct translation in a reliable version, such as the King James Version. First, The Living Bible does not faithfully give God’s Word in English, but substitutes man’s words.

Running head: WHAT DID GOD SAY? 1 What Did God Say? ​ ​ A Critical Analysis of Dynamic Equivalence Theory Katelyn R. Fisher Cedarville University WHAT DID GOD SAY? 2 Abstract This paper is a critical analysis of Eugene A. Nida’s theory of dynamic equivalence as it relates to Bible translation, largely through a comparative study of select passages from the biblical genres of poetry, proverbs, and Pauline epistles. In addition, a brief survey distributed to 72 students at Cedarville University provides both qualitative and quantitative data regarding which English Bible version they prefer and why. Identifying Nida’s contributions to translation studies and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of his theory in practice serves to provide implications for believers who are seeking to discern which English version is the most accurate, natural, and clear.

  • Some Lessons of the Revised Version of the New Testament
    .W51 Some Lessons of the Revised Version of the New Testament Some Lessons of the Revised Version of the New Testament By the Right Rev. Brooke Foss Westcot t, d,d.,d.c.l. Lord Bishop of Durham LONDON HODDER AND STOUGHTON 27 PATERNOSTER ROW 1897 Printers to Her Majesty Edinburgh : T. and A. Constable, PREFACE The greater part of the contents of this volume appeared in the Expositor for 1887. Hitherto the pressure of other work has hindered me from complying with the request to publish the papers in a collected form. But a space of enforced leisure in the summer of 1895 enabled me to revise and supplement them by much new matter ; and I issue them now in the hope that they may contribute to a fuller under- standing of the aim and character of the Revised Version of the New Testament, and lead English readers to the systematic study of it. I have found the illustrations which are given helpful in guiding large and small classes to independent and interesting inquiries. vi Preface The revisers have no reason to complain of the reception which their labours have found. * It does not appear that the Authorised ' Ver- sion made more rapid progress in public favour in the sixteen years after its publication ; and, as far as I can judge, the Revised Version is more commonly used by preachers now than ' the Authorised ' Version was after the same period of trial. Whatever may be the ground for the state- ment on the title-page of the revised version of 1611, that it was * appointed to be read in churches,' there is no evidence whatever that the authorisation was more than permissive.
