  • Citing Scripture
    Citing Scripture This handout gives basic information on citing scripture according to the MLA, Chicago/Turabian, and APA formats. Although this handout focuses mainly on citing the Bible and the Book of Mormon, the guidelines provided apply generally to religious works (e.g., the Qur’an or Bhagavad Gita) with chapters and verses, or similar components, standardized across versions and translations. Other religious texts, such as the words of current religious leaders, are cited according to media type: book, magazine, website, etc. This handout is based on MLA Handbook (eighth edition), The Chicago Manual of Style (seventeenth edition) and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (sixth edition). For each topic below, the corresponding handbook section is listed in parentheses. While this handout provides general guidelines, writers should always tailor their work to their audience and assignment. Chicago and Turabian Two Citation Styles: There are two styles for citing sources in Chicago: the author-date system and the note- bibliography system. Examples of both are included in this handout, but religious and historical papers usually require a notes-bibliography citation style. Note: Citing scripture is the same in Chicago and Turabian formats. Note-Bibliography System (14.238–14.241) Footnotes or Endnote Citations: The first note includes the full or abbreviated name of the book (10:44-48 addresses abbreviations in detail), chapter, verse, and version. Separate the chapter and verse with a colon. A range of verses is marked with an en dash. The version (if applicable) follows the chapter and verse and is put in parentheses. Subsequent notes list only the book, chapter, and verse.

  • The Inclusive-Language Debate: a Plea for Realism I D.A
    "Don Carson has given us a much-needed book that is both provoca­ tive and timely .... He observes that inclusive-language translations are not only inevitable but also necessary, and that current translations that refuse to update themselves gender-inclusively will quite likely end up in the dustbin of history.... I heartily and enthusiastically rec­ ommend Carson's latest effort, and I do so without reservation." Ronald Youngblood THE member of NIV Committee on Bible Translation INCLUSIVE­ "Carson's study of inclusive language is an excellent plea for san­ ity in a discussion that has had its share of hysteria and lack of balance. Bringing the history of translation, exegetical skill, an awareness of LANGUAGE how different languages work, an appreciation of the cultural dimen­ sions of the question, numerous specific examples, and just sheer calm DEBATE to the table, Carson's work deserves a careful reading by all in the debate and a hearty word of thanks from the Christian community." PLEA FOR REALISM A .- -,------,- Darrell L. Bock research professor of New Testament studies, Dallas Theological Seminary "Wise and scholarly, D. A.

  • 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.

  • The Message Bible”
    “THE MESSAGE BIBLE”: PERVERSION OF GOD’S HOLY WORD “. but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in you be not darkness” (Lk. 11:34-35). It is impossible to separate Jesus the Living Word from Jesus the Written Word. Therefore, one can easily see why Jesus, the Light of the World, cannot be portrayed with a false light, a false Bible. You will, in effect, be presenting “another Jesus,” “another spirit,” and “another Gospel” (II Cor.11:4). “The Message Bible” is just such a false light. It is actually not a Bible. It is a message from the enemy specially crafted to filter through a veil of Scripture so as to “deceive even the elect” (Mk. 13:22). Supposedly, The Message is harmless, just another translation in contemporary style, but one quick look should show anyone that it is a questionable paraphrase at best. However, even this is a stretch because The Message contains consistent error, which constantly misses the heart of what the Holy Spirit intended to express. It is nowhere close to a true word-for-word translation of the original Greek and Hebrew text. To put it another way, its author is not the Holy Spirit at all, but a man named Eugene Peterson. And, as if this weren’t sinful enough, The Message also delves into the occult. The phraseology used in The Message demonstrates thorough knowledge of esoteric and New Age philosophy. Peterson himself is a proponent of contemplative/mystical spirituality as evidenced in his writings and endorsements of other contemplative authors, not to mention their endorsements of his work.

  • New Jerusalem Version (NJV) Bible Review
    New Jerusalem Version (NJV) The following is a written summary of our full-length video review featuring excerpts, discussions of key issues ​ and texts, and lots of pictures, and is part of our Bible Review series. ​ ​ Do you recommend it? Why? Two thumbs up! The New Jerusalem Version takes first place in our list of recommended Messianic Bibles. Read on to learn why. Who's this Bible best for? The New Jerusalem Version is your best choice if you're looking for a literal translation with some Hebrew names and keywords that's respectful towards Judaism and looks like a real Bible. Would you suggest this as a primary or a secondary Bible? Why? The NJV is ideal as a primary Bible to carry around and read from on a regular basis because it contains the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, is literal enough to be used as a study Bible, and is large enough to be easy on the eyes when reading but not so large as to be clunky. How's this version's relationship with the Jews and Judaism? In short, excellent. The New Jerusalem Version belies a deep familiarity with Jewish customs and sensibilities. For instance, the books of the Hebrew Bible are in the Jewish order rather than how they were later rearranged by Christianity. Similarly, the books are called by both their Hebrew and English names and the chapters and verses follow the Jewish numbering with the alternative Christian numbering in brackets. Personal names and words close to the Jewish heart are also transliterated so as to retain their original resonance.

  • Footnotes for Meaningful Translations of the New Testament
    Journal of Translation, Volume 1, Number 1 (2005) 7 Footnotes for Meaningful Translations of the New Testament Richard C. Blight Richard Blight has served as a translation consultant with SIL since 1960. He completed the translation of the New Testament for the Tenango Otomi people of Mexico in 1975. In addition to authoring numerous articles and books, he is the senior editor of the Exegetical Summary series. Abstract Although background information is not communicated by the source text itself, some of this information is needed by the readers of a translation so that they can adequately understand the text. When the readers do not know this information, it needs to be provided by a judicious use of footnotes. The difference between implied linguistic information and assumed background information is described. Then various categories of background information are considered in regard to their relevance in supplying footnotes. The ways in which footnotes can be included in a translation are also described. In an appendix, a minimum list of footnotes for the New Testament is suggested. 1. Introduction Translators of Scripture want their translations to communicate the same message that the biblical authors intended the original readers to understand. In order to do this, they know they need to provide background information that the authors counted on the original readers to have in mind as they read the text. Assuming that footnotes are too sophisticated for their readers, some translators have attempted to include all of the needed background information within the text of the translation itself. But when the readers of such an expanded translation compare it with a version in the national language, they spot the differences between the two and are apt to criticize the expanded translation as being unfaithful to the text of the original.

  • 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.
