Making the Bible available to people in their own language has been the sacred task of scholars for centuries. In fact, 16th century English translator William Tyndale, whose work greatly informed the King James Bible about 80 years later, stated that his goal was to make a Bible that a ploughboy could understand.
Today’s translators, such as Dallas Theological Seminary scholars Dr. W. Hall Harris and Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, continue this responsibility. But today’s technology has allowed for a new approach used by these scholars in the NET Bible project that provides an unprecedented glimpse into the translation process. Their work gives an even deeper understanding and appreciation not only for this Bible translation, but of the decisions other translators have made, even back to the days of Tyndale.
In this episode of Bible Connection, Hall and Dan tell the story about the NET Bible project, and how key decisions were made to allow everyone to virtually look over the shoulder of leading biblical language scholars and understand the Scriptures more clearly.
