Thread: Literal NT, equivalent of Schocken Bible?

  1. #1

    Default Literal NT, equivalent of Schocken Bible?

    On the translational continuum, you have paraphrases, dynamic, mixed, formal, and then (at least for the OT) something like Fox's literal-at-the-cost-of-good-English translation, which attempts to give reader's the flavor, rhythm or texture of the Hebrew. See http://www.bible-researcher.com/schocken.html for a sample. (I've requested this and the notes for BW, but it probably won't happen.)

    Is there something equivalent for the Greek NT?

    Does Young's Literal Translation do it for you?

    EDIT: I should have checked BW first. YLT is in BW.

    In German there's the Münchener Neues Testament (in BW: MNT). Not quite word-for-word literal, but close; called a "Studienübersetzung".

    I'd rather be in Munich myself right now . . .

    Wish I You best the.
