This chart shows
the style of Bible translation, ranging from Word for Word, to
Thought for Thought (Dynamic Equivalence) and Paraphrase. The numeric
value shown in parenthesis following each translation name is the
grade level of readability. This chart makes no assessment as to the
quality of each translation and, in fact, includes at least one
translation with a strong Roman Catholic bias. While it does not
cover every English translation, it does reference a majority of best
sellers including many recent translations. |
