a. Chapter 15 (The text of the Bible)

This chapter contains information available to scholars of the biblical text to work on realistic goals such as determining the first variation, including readings of ancient manuscripts that provide and understanding of the evolution of biblical texts in the history of the handover. How did the ancient biblical texts are sent to our time? In what form and does not exist? Up to that point you can use any formrepresent the actual words of the original writers? The authors note that the Bibles were printed in Hebrew and greek Testament are artificial devices in relatively modern times is made on the basis of evidence in old manuscripts. Reproduction of multiple copies of introducing changes and copyists few te''regte''of''verbeter''die deliberately changed the original text. The authors note that there are about 5350 different manuscripts of the New Testament greek. What can explain this large varianceamong the documents were written so early in the history of the text of the New Testament? In addition to copying errors and write, Christianity has evolved rapidly in the early centuries, and the New Testament has evolved with it to meet its needs. In general, the situation in the Hebrew Bible text much more stable than the New Testament greek. That whatever the situation is much more complicated than it seems. We must not believe that the desire toregte''teks''is no less active in writers of the Old Testament, as among Christian writers. The authors note that there are biblical passages that the similarity is sufficient to indicate that they come from the same source (or other), but also different enough to show that there is great freedom in managing the text was too long in the books of Bible was written. Some items (Psalm 14, 53 and 40: 14-18 and 70: 2-6) and the text triples (IIKings 18:13 ff, Isaiah 36:1 and II Chronicles 32:1 ff ff, ff and Jeremiah 39:1, Jeremiah 52:4 ff and II Kings 25:1 ff) provide supporting evidence. The textual situation of apocryphal texts, the clergy (for the Jews, known as The Wisdom of Jesus, my Lord) are discussed. The authors note that it was sometimes mentioned in rabbinic literature, although it has never been officially recorded in the Hebrew canon.

b. Chapter 16 (Bible translation)

It 'a paradox, noting that no more than onepercent of the Bible, readers can read the text in Hebrew and greek. The implication is a very serious appeal for the translation. This chapter examines some problems in translating the Bible. As well serve readers who must depend on translations? These readers can be sure that the translations in general, or anyone in particular, will have the whole Bible and nothing but the Bible? Gabel, Wheeler and York are correct to note that a translation can not be completely faithfulin another language, because there is no general consensus on the text of the Bible to be translated, and secondly, that the absolute fidelity in the translation of anything (including the Bible) is not always possible.

Creating a text is therefore a potentially very complicated and tedious. Request a translation of "the whole Bible and nothing but the Bible" is a device that not imagine. Ideal for Translation (to bring the whole meaning of the original languagedie''reseptor language'') can never be realized. An initial feeling is left behind, while a further sentence can be imposed. How can you choose between the different translations? What criteria should guide the choice? By the authors suggest that readers of the particular combination of formal correspondence and the use of dynamic equivalence. The first is the quality of a translation, which works in the form of the original text is mechanically embedded in the receptorlanguage. Ice blocked die kwaliteit van die n 'in die vertaling van het die boodskap textile oorspronklike dus inspoelden to die reseptor wat die taal van die reaksie ice reseptor Soos die van die reseptore oorspronklike. According to a translation must be at the mercy of translators. A realistic recommendation is to spend at least two or three versions of doubling or tripling the number of expert opinions, which are available on a particular passage.

c. Appendix II (Writing in Biblicaltime)

The Bible is a book manuscript in a very long time, like a book was. There is a need for a formal document written during the many centuries before the press has taken over? In this appendix, the authors have questioned the technique of writing, in order to shed light on the circumstances that gave us the Bible as a physical object.

The writing can be regarded as an invention of ancient man. Clay, animal skins and papyrus are identified as the three mainmaterials that are hired to write in the West and East to the launch of scrap paper from the East long after the biblical period. The author traces a series of Bible stories involved in the scriptures. Moses wrote in the tags stone (Ex. 34:28-29), Joshua engraved with a copy of the Law of Moses (Joshua 8:32), Isaiah was told to send a large tablet (Isaiah 8:1) and a symbolic name to write on a tape of Ezekiel who gets to eat before the LORD, as the authorsperhaps perceived as a small part of the papyrus (Ezekiel 3:1-2) Jeremiah called an oracle concerning the destruction of Judas' coming to his secretary Baruch to take on an ink ribbon (Jeremiah 36). By the end of II Timothy, the author desired, pulling will be brought to him, especially newspapers, and John need to eat a little 'scroll (Revelation 10:9-10). According skrywers''vermoedens as the five books of Moses, the history books, Job, Proverbs and Psalms, wrote on bags(locally available to Israel) or papyrus (Egypt). They thought that the words of the prophets, probably transmitted orally and can be initially written in the form of notes or on pieces of wood and then papyrus and leather. Parchment, they believed, was subsequently chosen as an alternative. They also monitored the movement of the head and the Code of papyrus scroll.

REPLIES

a. Chapter 15 (The text of the Bible)

The authors are correct in observing thattask is to learn how biblical texts is not easy, since its purpose theoretical (and to eliminate any alterations of any kind, and then return to the original text, the authors have written), will never be, because there will be is never enough to be reached through. It was rightly noted that much of the idea of a common original text is itself an illusion.

b. Chapter 16 (Bible translation)

The authors have little to distinguish the challenges in translation;makes it relatively difficult for the reader to fully appreciate the discussion. It is here that the strength of Omanson (1988) is located. He divided the problems into different categories? textual, grammatical, expression of kinship and gender pronoun. Another live synthesis is also worth mentioning:

First, no matter how good a translation has its limits. The Bible was originally written with 11,280 Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek words, but the typical English translation uses only around6000 words. Obviously, nuances and shades should be lost, so it's always useful to compare the translations (Warren 2002, 325).

It 'a fact that "the translation used may be correct, of course, but can also be wrong" (Fee and Stuart 1982, 29). A limitation of this chapter survey of the history of Bible translations in English, even if the authors were aware that a similar story for other European languages.

Appendix C.(Writing in biblical times)

Perhaps the most impressive feature of their presentation is the way the authors portrayed the great distance that separates our world, with its low cost printed materials and a common understanding around the world in the development of the Bible? before which was distributed in many hundreds of years. It is a pity that they are not as impressive as Patzi " 's offer similar to write, copy and transfer the newTestament manuscripts (Patzi 1995). Unlike Patz, there are images to give a graphical representation of how these texts appear in a different letterhead. In general, the fact that the text itself is in its third edition was published in twenty-seven city shows its importance. The authors provide considerable background information on the type that many students have neither the time nor the opportunity to put together by the enormous mass of material published onBible.
