About The Book
Description
Author
The first pure translation into English of the actual words of the Apostles - not influenced by creeds traditions or the preconceptions of the translators. The actual words - not what was thought that they meant. The culmination of over two decades of intense scholarship and in-depth research by an academic frustrated with the repeated inaccuracies of centuries.This translation unmasks historic twisting of the original Gospel message to support particular beliefs. It will be as controversial as John Wycliffes first translation into English which was declared illegal for anyone to read by the church which had him declared a heretic.The Bible for a long time has been the worlds number one selling book. Since the first English translation in 1380 more than 630 years ago there have been around 150 English translations. So why do we need another one? Author scholar poet and grammar expert Christopher Sparkes from Petersfield has spent twenty years painstakingly going back to the original Greek and Hebrew and has identified a thousand blunders which have been repeatedly left uncorrected. Over the centuries as translators strived to make the language more modern and understandable so many errors and mistranslations have occurred that many of the original meanings have been obscured or even lost. The acid test according to Sparkes is that if you translate the English versions back to their original Greek or Hebrew they are too often nowhere near the original. So what has gone wrong?The problem facing translators is that they already knew - or thought they knew - the stories and teachings they were translating so when the original Greek or Hebrew didnt quite fit with them they fidgeted the words to make them fit with what they believed. Words have been added taken away or changed to fit with specific creeds or beliefs. As George Gershwin wrote The things that youre liable to read in the Bible - it aint necessarily so!
