Experts Prepare Translation of Bible for Modern Readers
A Wheaton College dorm hosts seven scholars from major seminaries as they begin an eight year New York Bible Society project to translate the Gospel of John into modern English. The group, led by Edwin H. Palmer, aims to mirror the King James Bible’s impact for today’s readers and will study Greek texts closely to capture precise meanings.
