CATHOLIC version of Interlinear Greek/English New Testament?

[LoyalCatholic]

Can anyone offer advice on a Catholic version of the Interlinear Greek/English New Testament?

Also, advice please on best source(s) online to buy it, if you would be so kind.

It doesn't need to be very scholarly, by the way...I'm not at the point of making much use of the critical apparatus.

Any assistance would be much appreciated, and God bless you.

Cordially yours in Christ,

I have it, but what makes it "Catholic?"

[LoyalCatholic]

I'm looking for a version with one of the Catholic translations into English, such at the Catholic Revised Standard Version or the Reims New Testament.

Cordially,

Loyal Catholic,

Are you on my ping list? Would you like to be?

Dear Salvation,

Sure, you can add me to your ping list, but I'm online only rarely.

Peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!

Cordially,

Hello, it's good to see another Catholic here.

A very good website to go to is EWTN to find the most ancient Bible writen type context. The Jerusalem Bible is probably the one you want.

The New Greek-English Interlinear New Testament (Personal Size)
by Robert K. Brown

I don't know what translation you're accustomed to, but this one is Revised Standard Version/New International Version. It is based on the very well known Nestle Aland interlinear Greek NT.

I think you'd find the English pretty standard and familiar. It's available at Amazon for under $20.

I am trying to understand what makes NT "Catholic?" Why do you refer to it as "Catholic?"

As far as the book itself is concerned, you already have the author, the Greek translation and the English version do differ.

You will find that, for instance in the Lord's Prayer, the word "deliver" in Greek is "rescue" and that instead of "from evil" the Greek version says "the evil one." In other places, such as "as we forgive our traspassers..." the Greek version says it in the past tense "have forgiven..."

Some people pay no attention to these differences, but I think they are significant in our perception of Scriptures. Like the famous one "be like your Father..." in Greek is expressed in the future tense "will be like your Father..."

There is no Catholic interlinear Greek/English New Testament.

No Catholic publisher has thought this important enough to produce, which is truly a shame.

The closest anyone has ever come is the "Greek, Latin, English New Testament Student's Workbook" published by Liturgical Press of Collegeville, MN waaaay back in 1963, and long since out of print. Hunt for a copy at used bookstores and good luck finding one.

What it is, is a book of large pages (c. 9" x 12") with a page of the Greek text and a page of the Vulgate Latin translation from the Nestle Gr./Lat. facing-pages Catholic NT, along with a page from the Confraternity NT English translation current in '63. Each page looks like a xerox of pages from 3 other books, with a lot of white space for students to make marginal notes. N.B. It is big and heavy and rather cumbersome.

Best I can recommend is to use the Green or one of the Zondervon interlinears on one knee, and to have one of the Catholic NTs on your other knee.

Trust me -- if there were a Catholic interlinear out there, I'd know it.

I meant Fr. August Merk's facing-page Greek/Latin "Novum Testamentum."

I believe LoyalCatholic means "with a Rome-approved Catholic NT English translation in the parallel column and with footnotes, etc. explaining the Catholic interpretation of the Greek text."

In my post #9 I tell him that no one has published such a Catholic intelinear NT.

Thank you. Apologies. I missed that.

Get that and a Catholic RSV. Then you'll just need to look for differences between the regular RSV and the Catholic RSV translations -- where there is a difference, there will be some major Cath/Prot interpretation being done on the text.

You could then pencil in a marginal note in your interlinear about the difference.

Actually, it sounds like a good enough idea, I think I may do it myself! Thanks to both of you!

[LoyalCatholic]

Thank you!

And thanks to all, sorry, I haven't time to reply to all!

God bless you!
