Just when you thought we had too many translations of the Bible....
I just ran across an advertisement for a new translation called the _New
Living Translation_. Its a reworking of Kenneth Taylor's _The Living Bible_
paraphrase by 90 conservative scholars and Bible college professors.
While I strongly *dis* the Living Bible, there are still folks I know that
bring it to Bible study and read it from the lecturn <gasp>. This new
translation may be an acceptable alternative to the Living Bible paraphrase
that I could recommend to those hard core Living Bible enthusiasts. While it
probably retains a lot of its Baptist theology, hopefully it reflects the
original languages and truncates the interpretive expansions taylor
introduced into the text.
Anyone come across this translation yet?
