OUR
AIMS
Members of the
BRASS team are working to produce a modern, reliable, readable
translation of the books of the New Testament based on the Greek text
known as the Textus Receptus or "Received Text" (TR). The TR is the text
that underlies the King James Version of the Bible and has been used
down the centuries by all Greek speaking churches. Yet since
the late 19th century - with the key exception of the New King James
Version - every major translation of the New Testament into
English has abandoned the TR in favour of the
Nestle-Aland/United Bible Society text ("NU"). The NU is based on
a small number of admittedly ancient but poorly executed manuscripts
with many internal inconsistencies. There are more than 5,000
differences between the TR and the NU. The NU text omits many complete
verses from the TR and an even greater number of portions of verses. In
addition there are numerous changes to individual words. Many of these
changes weaken the Biblical evidence for key evangelical doctrines and
undermine the achievements of the Reformation. We believe it is
time the TR was restored to its rightful place and that today's English
speaking Christians had access to a contemporary translation of the New
Testament, as readable as the NIV and as faithful to the truth of the
TR as the Authorised (King James) Version. |
