I've been reading a little Latin with my son, who's going into Latin III next year. Today we did the New Testament for the first time—the Parable of the Prodigal Son. I gave him my new edition and grabbed an old one I had lying around. We started reading and EVERY THIRD WORD WAS DIFFERENT!
Turns out my edition—picked up from some used bookstore for $5—is actually a RETRANSLATION from the Greek by Theodore Beza, a prominent 16c Calvinist.
Huh!
Suet624 Wow! This reminds me of the book I'm reading. The tagged book by Christopher Moore. Biff, the childhood friend of Jesus, returns to life. He's in a hotel room checking out the Bible and he keeps commenting on how different it is from what he remembers from his time with Jesus. 2y
