Setting the record straight
#4
Exactly Shamasha this is all so ridiculous, and I can identify with what akhan Andrew says in his defense, lemme tell y'all about the latest project I'm involved in:

The Eastern Orthodox Bible is a new English translation of the Greek Bible - both the official Greek OT & NT of the Orthodox Church. The base English text for the NT is the World English Bible and for the OT, Brenton's LXX translation - both of which are in the public domain, the English text of the EOB must conform to the official Patriarchal OT & NT of the Orthodox Church. I have signed up as a voluntary editor for the EOB OT (the NT has been completed), my job as an editor is to do the following:

1) update & modernize Brenton's archaic 19th century English, so that it is both accurate & suitable for public reading
2) compare the Greek text published by the Church of Greece (Apostoliki Diakonia) with Alfred Rahlf's critical LXX edition published by the United Bible Society, choose the Church text readings and document all significant variants in the footnotes
3) compare Brenton's translation with the latest English translation of the LXX - New English Translation of the Septuagint, published by Oxford University Press, and document significant variants in the footnotes
4) compare the LXX readings with the Masoretic Hebrew Tanakh, using the most well known modern English translations (NAB, NIV, NJB, NKJV, NRSV), and document all significant variants in the footnotes

I'm happy to contribute to such a project because I love nothing more than to help make as many Bible resources available to the general public as possible, but I can vouch for akhan Andrew that this is very hard work, and I'm terrified of making errors as I know that this Bible will be read publicly in parishes and studied in seminaries & monasteries in the USA and elsewhere in the world.

Just like I have to continuously consult the Greek Orthodox OT & Ralhf's LXX and compare with English translations of both the LXX & MHT, likewise akhan Andrew had to consult the Khabouris Codex, UBS critical text, Greek NT texts & English translations of the Peshitta NT - this IS translation work, NOT "light revision" as Dave Bauscher claims!

No one can rightly accuse Andrew of plagiarism, not only because it's impossible to plagiarize public domain works but also because the concept of the AENT is unique - there is no other English translation of the Eastern Peshitta for the Netzarim. The AENT IS an original work!
Shalom, Shlama, Salaam & Yiasou.
