Reddit reviews The New Testament: A Translation

It should be noted that although Hart has robust argument, made in his NT translation, and supplemented in his 'All Shall Be Saved' -- it is a clear break from most scholarship. For a more robust scholarly undertaking Ilaria Ramelli's tome on apokatastasis deals with this favorably -- but again, a break from most scholarship (and orthodoxy, but we aren't concerned with that here).

Uh, ok.

>Is this in paperback yet? I can't drop $50 on a hardcover.

I don't know your country, but Amazon sells the hardcover for $26 if you can buy it there.

I've all but stopped coming to this sub.

The idea that Christianity is a matter of opinion and personal interpretation has done immeasurable harm to those truly seeking Christ. Without guidance, "every man his own Pope" quickly becomes every man his own god, and his own holy writ.

I genuinely despair for the honest one seeking Christ that comes to this place in hopes of finding Truth. So much half-understood Scripture, so much heresy masked as "this is what I feel is true," and so much outright mental illness using the name of Jesus where someone else might use Xenu or Bigfoot.

This post will get downvoted all to hell and back, but to the true seekers, I say: don't look for Christ on an anonymous internet forum. Read the Epistle to the Romans – this new translation is amazing. Read Lost to the West, a great book on the history of the early Church in context of the Eastern Roman Empire. And find a church where you can be guided properly.

At the end of October, Orthodox scholar David Bentley Hart has a translation of the New Testament coming out that looks quite promising

Oh, I had no idea. I'll absolutely do that. Do you know when it's releasing?

EDIT: Found it. Looks like October. Thanks for the heads up! Pre-ordering.
