Truth In Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New Testament.
by Jason David BeDuhn.
Published University Press of America. pages. Hardback or Paper Back.
Brief Description(by NWT Defense site):
Jason BeDuhn's book "Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New Testament" compares nine translations(from the KJV to several 20th century translations, including the New World Translation), not with each other, but with the original Greek of the New Testament.
He analyses, in chapters 4 through to 12, scriptures such as John , , Colossians ff, etcetera, as well as words such as proskuneo("worship") and pneuma("spirit"). His conclusion as to which translation has been more accurate overall, based upon what words and scripture passages he does analyse, might surprise the many!
His own preferred translations, at times, ("a god" at Luke for instance)are thought provoking.
