Talk:Luke 9-16 (Translated) (view source)
Revision as of 16:01, October 22, 2009
, 16:01, October 22, 2009gospel or good news?
:Over at the Gospel of Mark, the decision was made to translate ευαγγελιον as "good news." It seems to me that the same convention should be followed here in Luke. Therefore, "spreading the Truth" in Luke 9:6 should be rendered either "proclaiming the good news" or "spreading the good news." "Proclaiming" would be more literal, and "spreading" would be a little more figurative, but would more clearly present the idea of the gospel spreading across the countryside.--[[User:Caspianrex|Cory Howell]] 11:46, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

::Thanks for the update, I think 'spreading' will be better. Is it a new Project Guideline to translate ευαγγελιον as 'good news'? [[User:JohnFraiser|JohnFraiser]] 11:56, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

:::Over at Mark, it looks like they are consistently using "good news," and TerryH told me in an e-mail that it was supposed to be "good news." That's all the info I have currently.--[[User:Caspianrex|Cory Howell]] 11:58, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

::::However, I glanced through Matthew, and it looks like the word gospel is currently still there. Perhaps we need some clarification on this issue.--[[User:Caspianrex|Cory Howell]] 12:01, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
