Well, he's only two behind the KJV which has 17 translations. Which of the 17 do you use?

That 15 translations INCLUDES the King James Version, so does that mean that Warren needed 31 translation to achieve his goal of twisting the Scriptures?

I LOVE IT.

THANKS.

KJV 17 translations. Cute. I actually hadn't registered that factoid.

uuhhh????  Where did you get that idea?

[Paulus Invictus]

I really enjoy reading the earliest English language New Testament translated and printed by the master translator, William Tyndale. I have a copy of the second, year 2000 edition. The first edition was printed in 1526! Once you get used to the Old English, it flows along beautifully. It must have been really good as the translators who did the KJV used Tyndale's version in 85% of their work.

His tragedy was that Tyndale was pursued for years by the Catholic leaders in England. He was and finally trapped, imprisoned, garroted and burnt at the stake as a heretic for translating the Bible and making it available to all who could get a copy. His principle pursuer was none other than Sir Thomas More, counselor to Henry VIII. Go figure!
