توضیحات
Good News for Everyone, prepared by internationally respected translations expert Dr. Eugene A. Nida, is a companion handbook for the newly released Good News Bible (Today’s English Version of both Old and New Testaments). Used with the Good News Bible, Good News for Everyone can help you understand and use your Bible better, whatever your preferred translation—Good News, King James, Revised Standard, New English Bible, The Living Bible, or any other.
As Dr. Nida reveals the fascinating story of how the Good News Bible came to be, he also exposes difficulties other translations have had to face over the years—problem passages, geographic ambiguities, words with lost or unknown meaning, variations among manuscripts. He shows you the many supplementary helps in the Good News Bible-like the ones listed below—and how to use them to full advantage:
- section headings
- parallel passage references
- the Word List
- the index-concordance, with lists of data on important persons, events and themes of the Bible
- the chronological table
- historical maps
- illustrations by Annie Vallotton, who provided such dynamic art for Good News for Modern Man
Take this opportunity to meet the translators of the Good News Bible and watch them work. Knowledge of their objectives and methods will give you confidence in this “most readable of existing English translations.” Dr. Eugene A. Nida has been with the American Bible Society since 1943 and is Executive Secretary for Translations. He is also Translations Research Coordinator for the United Bible Societies and Regional Translations Coordinator for the Americas.
A prolific writer, Dr. Nida has published more than 200 articles, reviews, and monographs and several books. He holds the A.B. in Greek from UCLA; M.A. in Greek and Patristics from USC, and Ph.D. in Linguistics and Anthropology from the University of Michigan. Practically all of Dr. Nida’s adult life has been involved in helping translators produce more satisfactory translations of the Bible, work that has taken him to 75 countries and that has included more than 200 languages, some of them never before reduced to writing.
