Ward's notebook suggests he worked alone, at least in the early stages. "It clearly shows him ... working out the translation for himself as he went along, making mistakes and changing his mind," Miller writes in the Times Literary Supplement, raising the possibility that the Bible "may be far more a patchwork of individual translations ... than has ever been properly recognized." (The oldest known Gospel was just found in a mummy mask.)

No surprises there.

All biblical studies depends on context and perspective.

Very interesting.

Ya can't translate pages and pages and pages of drafts done by someone prior to or after christianity and what it all means and NOT make mistakes or transcribe wrong or add ones own belief in what they THINK the writer meant....and it come out 100% what it originally says.
Can't do it (well, ya can if that's yer thang). Yet, so many believe a book that has been translated/transcribed over thousands of years and worship it as The Word Of God in it's entirety according to whomever did the translating or transcribing.
Oh, and don't forget the gospels that were left out because of agendas of the day of when it was put together AS a complete book.

So they'll finally expose the missing verses of Luke where the earlier copies show Luke admitting Jesus wasn't who they hoped him to be when he failed to liberate them.
The same reason they removed all of Thomas.

Yup over that 1600 year period the Bible had been translated across 5 or 6 different languages, dozens of dialects, countless interpretations; and altered by countless translators and countless people for political reasons...

The original authors would not recognize anything in the modern Bible if it was translated back to them.

Lets not forget, the church didn't even want people to read that shit. Pope Damascus finally changed that

All of the above is why I don't listen to the far left any more than I do to the literalists on matter of scripture.

Gospel of Mary was a HUGE no no. A woman? On level with Jesus? Oh no. That could not be put in that book.
What about the book for Judas? No no. Leave that one out too.

 

[Gracie]

So...who put the book together to make it a book? Who was in charge of that task? You know..the book called The Bible, as it is known today?

Meh. Judas was biased. And that wasn't written by him anyways. Gnostic Christians wrote it around 300 AD. I do think they traced it back to being translated by an earlier Greek text. But I read that years ago..

If the earth is around for the next 1000 years....who knows? Someone will find copies of JR Tolkein in a cave and proclaim it as THE book. Only after they change Gimli to being an elf and Legolas as a dwarf...or Orc.

The Shire will be heaven.....Mordor will be hell. Gandalf will be God and Pendergast will be Jesus.

Sorry..just thinking about weird stuff.

Council of Nicea. Constantine.

Eithiopian Orthodox Canon is said to be the most complete Bible. Evolving in Eithiopia and thus unaffected by European church politicking and schizms it's everything that was ever in it. Been looking for an English version but no luck.

We now know that the bible was written at least in the year 400. No later than that.

Lost Latin commentary on the Gospels rediscovered after 1,500 years

Your story looks like the King James was written in 1600

Pendergast? Is that a different book?

The King James was a translation- probably with some 'liberal' interpretations of some of the text.

The draft provides some clues to how it was translated.
