Discussion for 18th July

Inspired by a visit to the Bible Society in Vienna in May …

Monday’s session (July 18th) will focus on Bible translations. Jesus himself, when in the synagogue, perhaps used the Septuagint translation when reading from the scroll of Isaiah. (Luke 4) Paul and other New Testament authors at times quoted the Hebrew Bible in Greek translation. Please come ready to discuss:

Which translation of the Bible do you use?

What factors do you think are important in choosing a translation?

Has your preference changed?

Are there translations that are more or less ‘Unitarian friendly’ versions?

We will also look at a key passage of scripture in various English translations to see what we can learn by comparing them side by side.
