Companion To The Revised Version Of The English New Testament Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Companion to the Revised Version of the English New Testament The object of this little work is to explain to the English reader the general grounds of those many departures from the Authorised Version which he will find in the Revised translation. Not one of these alterations has been made without what appeared to a majority of the Revisers an adequate reason. They are all to be traced to one or other of two causes - either to a change of the Greek text which it was found necessary to adopt, or to a change of translation which stricter fidelity to the original seemed to require. Under these two heads, all necessary explanations (so far as space permitted), will be found in the following pages. For the sake of those who are acquainted with the original, the Greek words referred to have been sometimes given at the bottom of the page, but the text will be perfectly intelligible without these to the English reader. It is scarcely needful to add that for what is here written the author alone is responsible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Companion to the Greek Testament and the English Version This book has grown out of my studies in connection with the Revision Committee, and was prepared at the request of several fellow-revisers and friends whose learn ing and judgment I highly esteem. It embodies the sub stance (thoroughly revised) of my Introduction to the American edition of Westcott and Hort's Greek Testa ment, and several additional chapters, besides important contributions from Bishop Lee, Professor Abbot, Dr. Hall, and Professor lvarfield, which are acknowledged in the proper place. The last chapter contains a brief history and explanatory vindication of the joint work of the two Revision Companies, and fairly expresses. I believe, their general views on all essential points, with a preference for the American renderings where they differ from the English. An official report of the American Committee will appear after the revision of the Old Testament is completed.

Excerpt from The New Testament in Scots, Vol. 1: Being Purvey's Revision of Wycliffe's Version Turned Into Scots by Murdoch Nisbet At the end of the fourteenth century there were two current versions of the Bible which emanated from Wycliffe or his followers. The first, which is ascribed to Wycliffe himself, though the greater part of the Old Testament was apparently the work of his companion, Nicholas of Hereford, was completed in or about 1382. It was a rough and very literal translation, closely adhering to the construction of the Latin original, while glosses or alternative renderings were occasionally introduced into the text. The need of a version in smoother and more flowing English was at once felt, and a new version, or rather a revision of the older ver sion, was undertaken by another disciple of Wycliffe, John Purvey, whose work was executed about 1388, or four years after Wycliffe's death, which took place on December 31, 1384. There are extant numerous manuscripts of both of these Bibles, but for a long time their relationship was not clearly understood. An edition of the New Testamentxviii introduction.
