Book Description

October 12, 2007
The Source New Testament with Extensive Notes on Greek Word Meaning contains abundant and detailed documentation for the meaning of hundreds of Greek words which appear in the New Testament. The Source is the only N.T. translation based on word meaning evidence from the recently discovered papyri and inscriptions. For centuries, translators had to guess the meaning of hundreds of N.T. words. After 1976, huge numbers of papyri and inscriptions were discovered containing these N.T. words in everyday documentation thus revealing their meaning. The Source is the only New Testament translation by a Classical Greek scholar (rather than theologian) and not financed or translated by a committee of a specific denomination.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of The Source, October 30, 2008
This review is from: The Source New Testament With Extensive Notes On Greek Word Meaning (Paperback)
A friend recommended this book to me, so I began looking for it in bookstores, etc., only to find out that it was basically banned in most Christian bookstores and largely ballyhooed by many "scholars" in a number of Christian denominations. The reasons for this action are that she does not follow the strict historical Greek definitions used by most, if not, all Biblical scholars. That got my attention, so I ordered the book.

I found Dr. Nyland's treatment of the biblical texts and the more current papyri to be loving, gentle, and very scholarly as she seeks to find the truest meanings of these writings. Biblical Greek is a language unto itself as it seeks to meet the definitions that bear out many of the critical doctrines and theologies of the evangelical world. As a linguist and a 40-year student of scripture, I can tell you that this is about as backwards a way of studying a language as you can get.

In her Glossary and Introduction, Dr. Nyland makes it very clear how she approached her study of the New Testament, as well as some of the newer documents. Given this approach, which is far more in keeping with good practice in linguistics and anthropology, I felt the texts come alive in ways I had never known before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Excellent, March 18, 2008
This review is from: The Source New Testament With Extensive Notes On Greek Word Meaning (Paperback)
The Source New Testament with Extensive Notes on Greek Word Meaning by Dr. Ann Nyland is a valuable asset. It is the only version of the New Testament using information from recently discovered papyri to update the traditional translations. For those who do not know Greek as well as scholars it provides clarification on words and phrases previously translated as an educated guess. The notes should be used as a basis for an accurate concordance. Personally, I want to know what was really said, not someone's opinion or bias. If that is your desire, buy The Source.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Ground-Breaking Work That Deserves the Highest Possible Praise!, July 22, 2010

This review is from: The Source New Testament With Extensive Notes On Greek Word Meaning (Paperback)
How anyone can give this incomparable New Testament translation anything less than five stars, amazes me. True, as one reviewer commented, the book's rather cramped lay-out is unattractive, even off-putting. But the text's appeal is to the mind, rather than the eye. And if the text were laid out with more spacing, maybe we would not read it with the attention it deserves? Dr Nyland has courageously dared to challenge the authority of all the traditional translations that most Christians erroneously accept as "God's word!" Mind you, with the exception of Fundamentalists, most churches actually teach their followers that only the original Greek -- not any of the English translations -- can be regarded as "inspired by God". But this message -- whether because of half-hearted delivery or deliberate obfuscation -- has certainly not reached the hearts and minds of 99% of Christian churchgoers. In 522 pages of closely-packed yet vastly illuminating text, I found only one word that I would totally disagree with. In Matthew 6:11, Dr Nyland follows "The Gospel According to the Hebrews" by translating the mysterious Greek word, "epiousios", as "tomorrow". However, I side with Saint Jerome, who tells us that the word actually means "super-substantial". Epiousios is a slang term referring to the "super-substantial" ration of food that an overseer or foreman might receive. So I would translate the verse -- as I have in More Bible Wisdom for Modern Times: Selections from the Early New Testament -- this way: "Give us today a super-substantial portion of all the bread we need to satisfy our hunger." Perhaps, as I note in the book, the phrase, "really generous", would more accurately reflect what Our Lord actually said.
