So interesting and fascinating this series about manuscripts hunter, doing a great job here, thanks a lot

I was visiting Dublin a few years back, and was just touring around and literally stumbled into the museum with the Chester Beatty exhibit while looking for a public toilet 😂 So the family and I spent the rest of the day there at the museum and especially looking at all the manuscripts they had on display. Fascinating collection.

Welcome to the new episode and thanks for watching and subscribing! See the playlist for "Manuscript Hunters" here: tinyurl.com/45dyxdzv

I wish the thumbnail didn’t have the devil on it. Might make some think there is something wrong with the NLT and not even listen to the video. Or make bad assumptions.

I would be curious to see you compare the NLT and the NIV. My understanding is they are both intended to be more readable, but I’m not sure what the differences are.

NLT also has some excellent study Bibles. The Filament App enables ones, the Illustrated Study Bible, and the Chronological Study Bible.

Thank you for such an in depth review 🙏 I really appreciate your channel.

Thank you

Regarding single person Bible translations: 1. I think the Lattimore New Testament (NT) is a fine formal equivalence translation. I find Lattimore to be superior to, say, David Bentley Hart, even though Hart has his moments, viz., there are some stunningly beautiful as well as compelling and commanding passages in Hart that are well worth reading and savoring. Yet, all told, Hart is quite idiosyncratic, which isn't ipso facto bad, but arguably Hart tries too hard at the end of the day. By contrast, Lattimore is a more conservative translation compared to Hart and compared to others like Moffat and Knox. However each of these have a stylistic flair that's not in Lattimore. Overall Lattimore is a reliable, readable, and literary formal equivalence translation. 2. For single person translators in the functional equivalence vein, translating for the people, as it were, less so scholars, there have been a plethora. Recently Sarah Ruden and NT Wright come to mind. In the past, a couple of notable translations are the ones by FF Bruce and JB Phillips. In fact, I think Phillips is the best of the single person functional equivalence translations in terms of readability (clarity and naturalness) as well as literary style in the ordinary. One might wish to throw in Kenneth Taylor and The Living Bible - not to be confused with the more academically sound and contemporary NLT which is an excellent translation given its translation philosophy - but I think Taylor's original TLB is significantly closer to paraphrase than translation. Eugene Peterson's The Message is certainly colorful and noteworthy as well, but less reliable, edging closer to cultural commentary than translation proper in my view. 3. There have also been single person OT translations, especially by Jewish scholars. I find the most intriguing translation with the most potential for serious study is Robert Alter's Hebrew Bible. And Alter's Hebrew Bible is a sublime literary achievement to boot. I think Alter's Hebrew Bible coupled with Lattimore's NT would make for a fascinating Bible translation.

Great job. Thanks for the Virtual Vacation.

Thank you for this. I enjoyed the bio on Stern as well as the balanced critique.

Glad you had an edifying pilgrimage. Looking forward to your presentation.

Tomorrow, Saturday, December 20th, 1pm EST I will air a 17-minute video of my recent trip to NYC to visit the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Met and the Morgan Library and Museum. I was admitted to the Reading Room of the JTS and the Morgan to view some ancient Biblical manuscripts. Here is a short teaser. Hope you enjoy the full feature tomorrow.

I know this is a different style of video than I usually post but since it was on topic to our current series on Manuscript Hunters, I thought it worthwhile. Please let me know if you liked the change of pace and if I should upload another one like it in the future. I make trips to NYC several times a year and have visited Israel, Rome, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri and have many pictures from those trips that reference Biblical sites and stories. If you would like to see pictures from those places, let me know in the comments. Here's a link to our current playlist for Manuscript Hunters: ua-cam.com/video/BLKAsUsCB6U/v-deo.html

This is an excellent series!

I’m just getting into the NLT after shying away from it for a long time. I should have turned to this so much earlier! I often use this to clarify what I read in the NASB. I particularly love the usage of modern weights, measures, and dates. Thank you for a well-explained and cogent summary of the NLT.

I learned about these two papyrus diggers/men today while listening to linguists debate the Bible while I’m researching Mormon history and its authentic ( or not) origins. So I’m so blessed to be finding your channel!!! I’m a hermit researcher who is following my curiosity down a rabbit hole…. Or maybe even a worm hole into the past. So Is this massive excavation of papyrus you cited, a direct source of Joseph Smith and his papyrus that he then mistranslated into the ‘Book of Abraham’ and then created the whole Mormon religion? Joseph Smith is known to have bought Egyptian papyrus from a man in Ohio who had many Egyptian papyrus and other loot. To then take what he had learned within the Freemasonry fraternity and create his own translation of the papyrus into A Book written and authored by the actual real man Abraham of the Bible… that is the claim! Years later after the papyrus and its characters/pictograms/hieroglyphics( excuse my ignorance) that Joseph Smith had were actually transcribed by many Egyptian scholars , it was revealed that the papyrus writings were only basic logs of funerals and other basic life events but absolutely nothing about Abraham, the name was absent and nothing similar to Joseph Smiths translations and interpretations. Subscribed and will be watching and following your interesting work! Sorry about the typos etc… I’m writing this by iPhone and not computer keyboard. God bless !

I love my small, hand-sized New Living Translation NLT for quick on the run study. However it is not "grand" in language. And I do not like the change from the individual standing-for-all versus the COLLECTIVE-they. We live in an age that has a strong bias against the individual. We all are individuals, whether we like it or not. We don't have an natural identity with a generalized and watered down "they."

This was very interesting, balanced, and useful. Thanks a lot! 😊

Very well done. Thank you. Greetings from South Africa.

The music is Too Strong! I had to stop watching.

Magi are zoroastrian occultists that did not worship the God of the Bible and could not have been wise men, as “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). The “wise men” were “from the east” and were not from the south and west of Jerusalem (Sheba, Tarshih, and Arabia) which many bible scholars claim. The wise men were looking to the scriptures at the prophecy by Balaam (who was located in Aram, Numbers 23:7 & Numbers 22:5) detailed in Numbers 24:17. The fact that the New Versions claim that these men were able to know where the Messiah was born by using sorcery is dangerous.

Very interesting and informative presentation. Great photos and maps. Excellent explanations. Thanks so much!

Lynching basically

The Way was the Bible I used to read when I was a kid. Read it all the way through in middle school. When I got a bit older, I developed a taste for tighter, more precise translations. But I will always have a soft spot for the Living Bible.

Thank you so much for this! I love my NLT so much for its clear language. The Bible needs to be understood!!! Lets face it. Im not going to read it if I dont understand it. TY TY TY and God bless you. 🙏🏻✝️📖

NIV = New Irish Version :)

these videos are fascinating thanks for making them

WHOSE "contemporary English" are you talking about? Do you speak English this manner? I don't. I wasn't even aware of this degenerate usage. If one is going to stoop to cringe over every "archaism" that one encounters, the beauty and majesty of the English will be lost in favor of a debased, degraded, and smutty form of street language that no self-respecting and literate Bible reader would ever recognize as worthy of mention in the context of Biblical exegesis.

Very informative video. Just to point out something: the Textus Receptus is NOT a manuscript. It is just an edition of the Greek New Testament. That said, thanks for your engaging and informative video! 🙂

Thirty-two years ago (1992), I was an undergraduate taking some religious studies classes at UC Davis. Being a fly on the wall, I overheard a conversation between the professor (Dr. Lincoln Hurst) and another student. He mentioned that the dead scrolls had been advertised in the classified section of the newspaper - sandwiched between a Sears Stove and I don't recall the other advertisement. I'll look up those books you mentioned. Your content is just fantastic !

n short, these two codices are old simply because, first, they were written on extremely expensive and durable antelope skins, and secondly, they were so full of errors, alterations, and deletions, that they were never used by true believers and seldom even by their own custodians. Thus they had little chance of wearing away." John Burgon on Sinaiticus and Vaticanus Bing search

Gender of scholars should not play a factor in translations... identity politics should not play a part. We want the best- no matter the gender, ethnicity, or any other differentiations.

I picked up my copies of the RSV, one based on the 1946 text, another based on the 1971 text, and 2024 reprint of the 1971 text. Definitely a change. The copies of the NRSV I checked are different again. The 2011 edition of the NIV appears to have been updated.

My first Bible was a Good News Bible. I like it because it's easy to read and understand. I don't hesitate to use a variety of translations. Sometimes, they bring out nuances and other shades of meaning that I might otherwise miss. (Edit: fix typo)

john 3:36 is a game changer in the Geneva. it changes salvation from belief to obedience. i am going to Hell then because I've failed God more times than i can count by these rules. i really hope this bible is not the real one.

Re: Isaiah 7:14 In my younger days (more years ago than I sometimes care to remember), I became aware of an expectation in some circles, that young people should save themselves for marriage, meaning that a respectable unmarried young woman was, by implication, a virgin. This would mean that harmonising the wording of Isaiah 7:14 with NT quotes from the LXX wouldn't be necessary.
