Newberry Single Column Bible: Newberry Reference Study Bible

Product Information

As the result of a careful examination of the entire Scriptures in the originals, noticing and marking where necessary every variation of tense, preposition, and the signification of words, the impression left upon my mind is this, not the difficulty of believing the entire inspiration of the Bible, but the impossibility of doubting it." To begin, let us return to that ubiquitous Hebrew and Greek Bible critic Alexander Thomson. According to Bowman, Also in 1902 the Society came into possession of the printing plates for The Emphatic Diaglott, which includes J J Griesbach’s Greek text of the Christian Greek Scriptures (the 1796-1806 editions) along with an English interlinear translation. Alongside this was the rendering into English of the text by British-born Benjamin Wilson (see below) who then resided in the USA.

David A Reed, How to Rescue your Loved One from the Watch Tower, (Grand Rapids MI: Baker Book House, 1991) Watchtower writers are always citing scholarly works in their publications. They are able to handle them well and obviously have a vast library of books at their disposal. What is at issue here, however, is the way they handle and quote from these works. Bowman, in Understanding Jehovah’s Witnesses (1992) and J ehovah’s Witnesses, Jesus Christ, and the Gospel of John (1991), presents his case that the NWT systematically distorts the Bible to fit the teachings of the Watchtower,however as already said it is not the intention of this writer to deal with these issues. What is more at issue here is what may be termed the ‘dishonest journalism’ of the writers of Watchtower material. In particular, how they have used the opinions of scholars to support the Watchtower Society through the NWT. In so doing it must be borne in mind that the alleged endorsements of the NWT by scholars cannot prove its accuracy. It is simply another way of understanding the power that the Watchtower Society, through the NWT, has over Jehovah’s Witnesses. He had always been a regular and careful reader of the Word of God, reading it for direction and instruction in the only English version then available in this country, the 1611 "Authorised Version". But in 1840, when he was twenty-nine, he decided to begin reading and studying the Scriptures in the original Hebrew and Greek languages, which he did from then on.

Thereafter, the Hebrew Scriptures were translated into English and released progressively, in five volumes, from 1953. On March 13, 1960 the translation committee finally finished work on the fifth volume, 12 years, 3 months, and 11 days after work on the NWTCGS began [5] . . Thomas Newberry (1811 – 16 January 1901) was an English Bible scholar and writer, best known for his interlinear Englishman's Bible, which compared the Authorised Version of the Bible with the Hebrew and Koine Greek of the original texts, first published in 1883 by Hodder and Stoughton, London. The KJV Store is pleased to announce a limited edition re-printing of the Newberry Reference Bible in a unique Single Column Format.

The Society claims that “various scholars were impressed with the NWT ” [Ibid., pp. 7-8]. The scholar quoted in this issue is Alexander Thomson (see below). He is also quoted in Proclaimers (p. 609) and Inspired (pp. 325, 327). One wonders why the Society is forced to use the same scholar in, at least, three different publications involving a time span of 38 years considering the fact that various scholars were claimed to have been impressed. Actually, the New World Translation contains hundreds of verses that have been altered to fit Watchtower doctrine” [How to Rescue Your Loved One From the Watchtower p. 45].

To conclude this section it may be appropriate to quote from two biblical scholars of unquestionable credentials from whom Bowman has quoted in Understanding (pp. 137-8). Firstly Bruce Metzger, already mentioned, who has written articles on Jehovah’s Witnesses and the NWT in which he argues that “the Jehovah’s Witnesses have incorporated in their translation of the New Testament several quite erroneous renderings of the Greek” [9] . . Secondly H H Rowley, Old Testament Hebrew scholar of Manchester University, England said, of the NWT (Genesis-Ruth, Volume 1 of the original Hebrew Scriptures series) The Emphatic Diaglott (ED) is an interlinear New Testament and is also, like the Rotherham translation above, used to support the Society’s rendering of ‘presence’ instead of ‘coming’ for the Greek word parousia [Reasoning p. 341; NWT p. 1248 and other verses]. Thus, although cited as a supporting reference, it is not an independent source and therefore its use is open to question. Who were the men that were responsible for the NWT, and what were their credentials and qualifications as translators of these ancient languages? It has already been noted that the Watchtower Society has quoted the same scholar, Alexander Thomson, and his favourable reception of the NWT in 1963 [Inspired pp. 325, 327], 1993 [Proclaimers p. 609] and 2001 [ The Watchtower 15 Nov. 2001, p. 7]. It must be stated, in all fairness, that the Proclaimers book also quotes Professor Dr Benjamin Kedar (p. 611). What did these two men find so worthy in the NWT?

Q. I think you are able to read and follow the Bible in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French?Diligent Scripture study led Mr. Newberry into association with a remarkable revival which took place in the British Isles early in the last century, when the Spirit of God led many eminent Christians to search the Holy Scriptures in relation to their ecclesiastical associations. The conviction was forced upon many of their souls that much of the teaching was not in harmony with the Word of God; that many of the customs were based upon expediency rather than conformity to "the law and the testimony" (Isa. 8. 20); that principles and practices (which were plainly recorded in the Epistle to the Corinthians and other Scriptures, as characteristic of the churches of God as founded by the apostles, after the Divine pattern given to Paul, "the wise masterbuilder") were not being observed, although 1 Corinthians 1.1,2 said they were binding upon "all that in every place call upon the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord."
