powerful new terms that should be included English translations of the Bible
Line 6: Line 6:     
As a first step to the Bible Retranslation Project, it is useful to identify modern terms having changing, unclear or altered meaning, which appear in important passages in translations of the Bible into the corresponding modern language. This will help avoid cliché and the repetition of culturally-familiar but suboptimal passages while producing a superior rendition from the original Hebrew and Greek into idiomatic modern English.

== Powerful New Terms ==

 +
Powerful new terms develop that were unknown or underutilized at the time of prior translations of the Bible into English.  The English language, relatively weak at its beginning, continues to develop by adding insightful new terminology.  These more precise and meaningful concepts should be utilized by English translations of the [[Bible]].  Examples include:
 +
 +
*"[[conservative]]" (first developed in 1831)
 +
*"[[homeschool]]" (first developed in ???)
 +
*"work ethic" (first developed in 1951)
