Differences Between Bible Versions
- By Gary F. Zeolla, the
director or Darkness to Light. This book discusses translation principles, Greek text-types, and KJV-onlyism.
It advocates a literal or formal equivalence translation principle and the use
of the Textus Receptus or the Majority Greek Text for translating the New
Testament. It discusses the potential problems with alternative translation
methods and the "Critical Text" Greek text. Over thirty versions of
the Bible are compared and evaluated.
By Jay P. Green:
Jay Green's writings on Bible versions helped to convince this
writer that a literal or formal equivalence version based on the Textus
Receptus or Majority Text was the most reliable kind of Bible version. But
it should be noted that Green does tend to go a little overboard in his
writings, finding even more problems with many modern versions than there really
are. His writings also tend on the "harsh" side. But even with these
caveats, his writings on the subject are still very helpful.
Unholy Hands on the Bible
- A Comparison Between Six Major Bible versions. Very extensive discussions on
the NASB, NIV, RSV, NRSV, GNB, and NAB. Shorter discussions on many other
versions. A lengthy section on the "Gnostic Influence on the Bible"
which details how Gnostic attempts to corrupt Bible manuscripts are being
inserted into many modern versions.
Gnostics, New Versions, and the Deity of Christ
- Shows how many new Bible versions eliminate or weaken
many proof-texts for the deity of Christ.
New Versions and the Doctrine of the Word
- Shows how many new Bible versions eliminate or weaken the doctrine of
verbal inspiration.
