| Résumé : |
Scholars today have access to thousands of ancient manuscripts and manuscript fragments for the Greek New Testament, allowing for an unprecedented level of accuracy in discovering the original wording. Nevertheless, there exist a number of textual variants in the manuscripts, and scholars and Bible translation committees do not always agree on which wording is original. English Bible versions note many such instances in the page margins, but explanations are brief if present at all.
The New Testament Text and Translation Commentary offers a convenient way to see how the standard English translations differ when there is a significant textual variant in the underlying Greek manuscripts. For each passage, the textual data is presented in a clear, easy-to-read way. It is easy to see at a glance which English versions follow which Greek variant. In addition, New Testament scholar Philip W. Comfort gives helpful commentary on what is going on in the Greek text and what might have led the translators to choose one reading over another. All the major English translations are surveyed—KJV, NKJV, RSV, NRSV, ESV, NASB, NIV, TNIV, NEB, REB, NJB, NAB, NLT, HCSB, and NET Bible. In addition to passage-by-passage commentary, Comfort provides an introduction to the art of textual criticism, its importance for studying the New Testament, and the challenges Bible scholars and translators face. A must-have for any person who takes reading and studying the New Testament seriously. |
