Project Gutenberg 2021-03-06 Public domain in the USA. 139 Slater, Edward Biblical Revision considerations in favour of a revised translation of Holy Scripture Transcribed from the 1856 John Farquhar Shaw edition by David Price "Biblical Revision: Considerations in Favour of a Revised Translation of Holy Scripture" by Edward Slater is a theological treatise written during the mid-19th century, specifically in 1856. This publication advocates for an improved translation of the Bible, arguing that the existing Authorized Version is inadequate in certain respects, particularly in its fidelity to the original texts. The book addresses the challenges and objections to revising the translation while expressing a strong desire for a version that is both accurate and accessible to contemporary readers. The core of Slater's argument centers on the necessity of creating a revised Bible that rectifies various translation errors found in the Authorized Version. He discusses specific passages that illustrate the discrepancies in the current translation and provides his interpretations as examples of how a more faithful rendition could enhance understanding. Slater contends that an accurate and updated translation would not only clarify difficult texts but also act as a tool for education and spiritual growth within a society that is increasingly reflective about the importance of scripture. His work emphasizes the need for a translation that resonates with modern readers while retaining the sacred essence of the original writings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
