Translator's New Testament

A Translator's Translation of the New Testament is an English rendering of the New Testament prepared not primarily for devotional or liturgical use but as a working tool: it aims to expose the meaning of the source language for translators rendering the text into other languages. Its scope is limited to the New Testament, and it is translated from Greek. Because its guiding philosophy is stated explicitly and oriented toward the source text, it belongs to the category of translator-help translations — versions produced alongside the modern expansion of Bible translation into many languages, intended to serve as an intermediate reference for translators who may not read Greek directly. Such works typically favour transparency to the underlying wording and structure over literary polish in English. The entry is included here as a completeness backstop for coverage of the English translation and revision family.
