Trinitarian Bible Society
Posted by Pavlos on December 17, 2009
Bethel Strict Baptist Church has a long history of supporting the Trinitarian Bible Society. Mr Denton worked for TBS. The Brown family that was connected with TBS also attended Bethel sometime in the past. Bethel has always used the Authorized (King James) Version of the Bible. It is the most accurate English translation based on the best manuscripts i.e. Greek Textus Receptus and Hebrew Masoretic texts. However, it is not perfect and contains a few minor errors.
In the April – June 2006, Issue No. 575, TBS Quarterly Record there is an article reviewing The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible by the Vice Chairman, Rev B G Felce. He wrote, “This text therefore does not have all the improvements made in the translation since 1611. … The AV is not perfect. But a succession of editors have done their best to translate as exactly as possible the original Hebrew and Greek of the Old and New Testaments to give us the most accurate Bible available today. There is no point, except perhaps to aid scholars, in going back to the 1611 AV, which is less perfect than the AV which we already have. In God’s good providence we have the AV as the best and most accurate Bible for the church and the individual Christian.“ (p23-24) For full text of the review see QR575 – April to June 2006
