1. Bible Translations

The OT was written in Hebrew, the NT in Greek.
Autographs: the original documents of Scripture
Textual criticism: the technical discipline that compares the various copies of a biblical text in an effort to determine what was most likely the original text.
Bible translation: involves moving the meaning of a text in one language (source language) to another language (receptor language).
English Bibles prior to 1611: Wycliffe Bible, William Tyndale’s NT, Coverdale Bible, Great Bible, Geneva Bible, Bishops’ Bible.
Authorized Version of 1611 (KJV) was revised several times up until 1769. The 1769 revision is the one still being printed today. Readers today have two main problems with the KJV: (1) the translators used an inferior Greek text constructed from a few late manuscripts, and (2) many of its words and phrases have become archaic or obsolete.
Approaches to Bible translation. The more formal approach tries to stay as close as possible to the structure and words of the original text. The more functional approach tries to express the meaning of the original text in today’s language using equivalent words and structures. See Translation Spectrum.

Step 5: Grasp the text in our town. How should individual Christians today live out the theological principles?

Criteria for Principles

■ The principle should be timeless and not tied to a specific situation.
■ The principle should not be culturally bound.
■ The principle should correspond to the teaching of the rest of Scripture.
■ The principle should be relevant to both the biblical and the contem...
