New Heart English Bible [NHEB]

New Heart English Bible [NHEB]

Summary

The goal of this work is to provide a modern and accurate English translation Bible based on the latest standard texts for the public domain.

The main text chosen for the Old Testament is Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. A modern public domain Old Testament was used and minor improvements were made. The main text chosen for the New Testament is the United Bible Societies Greek New Testament, Fourth Edition (UBS4). A public domain modern English New Testament version which used the Byzantine Majority Greek text was used as a base text and was conformed to the United Bible Societies Greek text, except where noted

The New Testament footnotes contain many comparisons of the United Bible Societies Greek text with the Majority and TR Greek, Latin Vulgate and Aramaic Peshitta.

It is hoped that this work will reach many, and the Good News of Jesus Christ will expand even further the kingdom of God. Continue reading

Modern King James Version [MKJV1962]

Summary

The New King James Version is different from most other modern Bible versions in that its New Testament is based on the Received Text rather than the modern critical texts. The Received Text is of the Byzantine text-type, whereas most modern versions use an Alexandrian text-type such as Nestle-Aland 27th or UBS 4th. The Received Text is very, very close to the Byzantine Majority Text, and the New King James Version is translated using the “formal equivalency” method, which produces a readable text that reflects as much as possible every word in the original Greek.

The SBL Greek New Testament or SBLGNT is a critically edited edition of the Greek New Testament published by Logos Bible Software and the Society of Biblical Literature in October 2010. It was edited by Michael W. Holmes. It is also published in paperback form.

The SBLGNT features an apparatus that records differences not among manuscripts, but rather from other published editions of the Greek New Testament. According to the editors this is a function of a “reading edition” that calls attention to text critical issues. The text was created by starting with the Westcott and Hort text and then comparing it to Tregelles, Robinson-Pierpont, and the text underlying the NIV. Continue reading
