From the article:
Quote:

The King James Version, although it is almost 400 years old, is still the best translation available today.
|
Although this was probably not the intent of the original author it is rather revealing that the best translation of the Bible is in
English, and not in Dutch, Chinese etc.
I wonder if other language groups make translations of the Bible in an older, antiquated version of their current tongue? Perhaps we should be looking at our cultural preferences, not making assumptions about the superiority of our translations.
