| new testament in modern english: Ring of Truth J.B. Phillips, 2000-03-07 A Translator's Testimony. J.B. Phillips says: I have felt compelled to write this book. IT is my testimony to the historicity and reliability of the New Testament. Few people have had such a close and constant contact with the New Testament as I have had. Even fewer have taken the trouble to understand the business of 'communication.' I say this in no spirit of conceit; it is a matter of simple fact. I therefore felt that it was high time that someone, who has spent the best years of his life in studying both the New Testament and good modern communicative English, spoke out. I do not care a rap what the 'avant-garde' scholars say; I do very much care what God says and does. from the Forward, RING OF TRUTH |

| new testament in modern english: A New New Testament Hal Taussig, 2013-03-05 “Important both historically and theologically. Readers will not be able to see the New Testament in the same way again.” —Marcus Borg, author of The Heart of Christianity “A New New Testament does what some of us never dreamed possible: it opens the treasure chest of early Christian writings, restoring a carefully select few of them to their rightful place in the broad conversation about who Jesus was, what he did and taught, and what all of that has to do with us now.” —Barbara Brown Taylor, author of Leaving Church and An Altar in the World There are twenty-seven books in the traditional New Testament, but the earliest Christian communities were far more vibrant than that small number might lead you to think. In fact, many more scriptures were written and just as important as the New Testament in shaping early-Christian communities and beliefs. Over the past century, many of those texts that were lost have been found and translated, yet are still not known to much of the public; they are discussed mainly by scholars or within a context of the now outdated notion of gnostic gospels. In A New New Testament Hal Taussig is changing that. With the help of nineteen important spiritual leaders, he has added ten of the recently discovered texts to the traditional New Testament, leading many churches and spiritual seekers to use this new New Testament for their spiritual and intellectual growth. “Remarkable . . . Not meant to replace the traditional New Testament, this fascinating work will be, Taussig hopes, the first of several new New Testaments.” —Booklist |

| new testament in modern english: Grammar Bible Version of the New Testament Gary Gallant, 2025-03-28 After over 40 years of translation work to create Grammar Uses Version (GUV), a decision was made to update this version and produce Grammar Bible Version (GBV). GUV was developed by examining the original Greek structure more precisely and avoiding unnecessary dynamic equivalence. It is also based upon the Majority Text (BYZ) with differences from the Textus Receptus (TR) noted in the variant readings. The original motivation behind GUV was the lack of translations that consistently rendered the present tense as linear and the imperfect tense as ongoing rather than a simple past. This distinction preserves the aorist as a simple past event while maintaining the imperfect as continuous action in the past, accurately reflecting its intended sense. In GUV, subjunctives followed the Old English expressions of wish, such as “may,” “might,” and “should.” The aorist subjunctive conveys a sense of potentiality—something that could happen rather than something definite. GBV modernized this by introducing present indicative, aligning more closely with contemporary English while preserving the non-linear nature of the aorist subjunctive. This revision retains Greek grammatical structures, including participles and subjunctives, while refining the English to be smoother and more precise. The goal is to maintain the integrity of the Greek while enhancing readability and clarity. Key Adjustments from GUV: Smoothed sentence structure for clarity. Rendered aorist participles with aorist main verbs as pluperfect. Rendered present participles with aorist main verbs as imperfect. Rendered perfect passive indicatives as present tense non-linear using the code ᵇ. Retained present indicative non-linear for aorist subjunctives and linear for present tense subjunctives, using the code ˢᵖ. In some cases, the infinitive is used to modernize the subjunctive in English, which is indicated by the code ˢⁱ. Kept present tense indicative verbs linear — this means the present tense is continuous. Maintained historical present tense where appropriate by using the code *. Ensured consistent tense usage, avoiding unnecessary shifts. Where shifts occur, the codes < or > are used. Improved sentence flow while preserving structure. Removed redundant conjunctions. Ensured alignment with Koine Greek grammar. Enhanced readability while maintaining grammatical integrity. This revision refines the wording for smoothness while preserving the original tense distinctions and faithfully adhering to Greek structure. |

| new testament in modern english: A Bible for Today Robert P. Vande Kappelle, 2022-09-02 If you ever wished to read through the Bible but hit a snag along the way, this book is for you, for it presents an ideal opportunity to become intimately acquainted with the biblical message and storyline while providing momentum for even the most skeptical and hesitant reader. If you can commit fifteen to twenty minutes a day and are willing to stick to the schedule presented in this book, in less than a year, you can read through the Bible and know you have acquired a basic grasp of its individual and overall message. Aggressive readers can complete the task in half the time if they wish to double the time commitment or split their reading into two fifteen-minute blocks a day. Those who follow this method will find that the readings reduce the Old Testament by 44 percent and the New Testament by 32 percent, for a total reduction of 41 percent of the biblical text. To counter immature, skewed, or harmful attitudes regarding scripture, A Bible for Today offers an approach to biblical reading and study that is valid, inspiring, and practical. It does so by eliminating not only repetitive passages, but also blocks of material that modern readers wishing to build on a Christian foundation find ponderous, lengthy, and no longer applicable. In contrast to most abridgments and condensations of scripture, this volume provides a logical sequence of readings that students of scripture can follow in whatever version they select, acquainting themselves with essential biblical passages and teachings in less than a year’s time. In addition, this book provides introductory overviews to each book of the Bible, succinct enough to be readable, yet literarily, historically, and theologically reliable and informative. |
