Robert L. Thomas is Professor of New Testament at The Master’s Seminary, Sun Valley, California.
"Scholarly and yet extremely practical"
*John MacArthur, Pastor/Teacher, author and broadcaster (Chancellor
Emeritus, The Master’s University and Seminary and Pastor–Teacher,
Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California)*
... a book which every pastor and Bible teacher ought to keep for
reference. There will be times when it is necessary to offer
guidance to others, as well as to choose for oneself, and no other
book is as clear and as useful as this one in helping us to decide
which version to choose.
*Churchman Journal*
Buying a Bible was simple years ago when the choices were basically
the size of the print, the colour of the cover, and the type of
binding. Now you find aisles of choice!
The author, himself a participant in Bible translation, provides
guidelines in five areas: historical backgrounds of English
translations, textual bases, methodological techniques, theological
biases, and varieties of English used.
This is a great resource for the layperson, student, pastor, or
teacher.
*Moody Magazine*
Subtitled 'Making sense of the proliferation of translations' this
lucidly written book is a useful guide through the labyrinth of
texts, translation philosophies, theological bias and other factors
that bear on translating the Bible... practical in purpose and very
easily read.
*The Banner of Truth*
Thomas has done us all a favor by penning a simple and readable
guide.
*David W. Hegg (Senior Pastor, Grace Baptist Church, Santa Clarita,
California)*
