Synopsis

J.B. Phillips, best known for his translations of the New Testament, wrote Ring of Truth out of a deep concern for many Christians whose simple faith was being eroded by the widespread dissemination of views of certain modern scholars challenging the accuracy and reliability of the Bible. Phillips' experience in translating the New Testament convinced him that what is written in the Gospels, however much modern scholarship may try to explain it away, has indeed "the ring of truth." In this personal statement of faith he shares the exciting discoveries he made in the course of translation, and his delight in them; he communicates the fruits of his scholarship and his intimate knowledge of the New Testament; but even more he offers his spiritual certainty to those Christians who may be bewildered by destructive tone of much writing about the Bible. The average Christian dismayed by such arguments will be reassured by this testimony of a New Testament scholar who is still convinced of the validity of the Bible and its relevance to contemporary life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A Translator's Testimony.
J.B. Phillips says:

"I have felt compelled to write this book.  IT is my testimony to the historicity and reliability of the New Testament.

"Few people have had such a close and constant contact with the New Testament as I have had.  Even fewer have taken the trouble to understand the business of 'communication.'  I say this in no spirit of conceit; it is a matter of simple fact.  I therefore felt that it was high time that someone, who has spent the best years of his life in studying both the New Testament and good modern communicative English, spoke out.  I do not care a rap what the ' avant-garde' scholars say; I do very much care what God says and does."
from the Forward, RING OF TRUTH
