Talk:Linguistic Bias of Bible Translations (view source)
Revision as of 06:21, June 22, 2015

James Strong - as organizer and builder of a railroad - did probably know more about thermodynamics than all the evangelists combined. Are you really complaining about those knowing the languages doing the translations? --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 19:04, 20 June 2015 (EDT)

== There is not much of a difference, really... ==
{{cquote|There is a linguistic bias to nearly all [[Bible]] translations that tend to favor <s>literary rather than scientific</s> ''gender specific over gender neutral'' terminology. James Strong, who wrote the classic dictionary of the meaning of Greek and Hebrew words in the Bible, had a background in <s>literature</s> ''the white middle-class of his time'' rather than in <s>math and science</s> ''current sociology''. Strong's work was in the 1800s, before all of the 20th century intellectual breakthroughs and language development that can better capture the powerful original meaning of ancient terms like "[[logos]]".}}
{{cquote|The impact of the linguistic background of Bible scholars is to fail to convey the full <s>scientific</s> ''sociological'' or logical power of some verses, and to lose ''female'' students <s>whose interests are more on the quantitative than literary side</s>.}}
It is all about presenting the Bible not as it is, but as it ''should'' be - according to you.
