It examines whether the work remains faithful to these guiding principles and addresses its unusual popularity within the Church at large. It also explains the translation approach, contrasting formal correspondence with dynamic equivalence and describing The Living Bible as an intralingual, impact-oriented “living” translation designed to convey meaning in contemporary English.","The Living Bible—not just another version  \nWilliam F.Kerr  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2021 with funding fromKahle/Austin Foundation

TheologyWestern Conservative Baptist Seminary  \nTyndale House Publishers,Inc.Wheaton,Illinois  \nWhen The Living Bible was published,Dr.Ken-neth Taylor wrote in the preface:\"In this won-derful day of many new translations and revi-sions we can greet another new one with eitherdread or joy!Dread that 'people will becomeconfused'orjoy that some will understand moreperfectly what the Bible is talking about.Wechoose the way of joy!For each new presenta-tion of God's Word will find its circle,large orsmall,of those to whom it will minister strengthand blessing.”  \nThat The Living Bible has found a large circleof those to whom it has ministered \"strengthand blessing\"is admitted by all.It is a modernphenomenon in Bible publishing.Capturingsome forty-six percent of the Bible sales in theUnited States last year,The Living Bible con-tinues to sell at an unprecedented rate.  \n6  \nWith such an unusual appeal and with such asignificant impact on the Church at large,it isnecessary that one face a basic question:\"Justwhat is The Living Bible and how does one ac-count for its unbelievable popularity?\"  \nMany answers have been given by various in-dividuals in the Church to this question.Tosome it is a paraphrase of the Bible whose salesare simply the result of a slick promotionalcampaign.Others believe that it is a paraphraseof the Bible that has come to the Kingdom forsuch a time as this and that its sales are the resultnot of a slick promotional campaign but themeeting of a spiritual need in the hearts ofpeople,both inside and outside of the Church.  \nSince there is this division of opinion andsince many have reacted either warmly for TheLiving Bible or hostilely against it,it is,perhaps,opportune to take a serious look at The LivingBible and seek as dispassionately and objectivelyas possible to evaluate its relationship to theChurch at large.  \nThis paper will seek to make this evaluationfrom four standpoints:  \n# THE PERSPECTIVE OFTHE LIVING BIBLE\n\nThe preface to The Living Bible defines itsperspective from a two-fold position:1)it is a  \n7  \nparaphrase;2)its \"theological lodestar ...is arigid evangelical position.\"2  \nThese two guiding principles must be takeninto account in evaluating The Living Bible.Further,the evaluation must decide whether,from an over-all viewpoint,the work has beenfaithful to these guiding principles.  \n# The Living Bible Is a Paraphrase\n\nIn the area of translation work,linguists havenoted that there are two basic types of accept-able translations:³1)formal correspondence orequivalence which is defined as “quality of atranslation in which features of the form of thesource text have been mechanically reproducedin the receptor language.\"2)dynamic equivalencewhich means “quality of a
