This review is from: Gift and Award Bible NLT (Gift and Award Bible: New Living Translation-2) (Imitation Leather)
Forty years ago, Ken Taylor published his Living Letters, which was Paul's epistles in contemporary English. It opened Paul up for me. Although it was a fairly loose translation, and only taken from the American Standard Version by an untrained bible lover, I still got mad when I read Romans 9, so it was close enough to give me the drift!
In about 1970, this developed into The Living Bible, which was a paraphrase which enabled many people to come to grips with the bible for the first time. In the late 1980s, a group of distinguished evangelical scholars revised Taylor's paraphrase, transforming it into The New Living Translation. This version was still easy to read, but much closer to the original. Now in 2005, Tyndale have released The New Living Translation 2, which goes even further in the direction of accuracy. It is an extensive revision, in which few verses have been untouched. If you already use the NLT, you'll find this version is still the same style of translation, but it is much closer to the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. In some instances it seems to be even more particular than the TNIV, which has also just been released. If you are skeptical of "dynamic equivalence" translations, I urge you to carefully look at this version. It is still easy to read, but now much tighter. In soem ways it is more "literal," but also at times, even more explanatory. Highly recommended.
