        <Summary>Comments on a modern translation</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;You asked about the value of Mr. F Coulter&amp;rsquo;s translation of the Bible.&amp;nbsp; My own opinion is shaped by a concern about his knowledge of New Testament texts. He states that his translation is based on the Byzantine texts, but appears to not understand the term.&amp;nbsp; The Byzantine texts are what are referred to today as the Majority Texts and if his translation was based strictly on the Majority texts it would be worth consideration as no other modern translation solely uses this text.&amp;nbsp; However, what Coulter appears to understand as the Byzantine text is the &lt;i&gt;Textus Receptus&lt;/i&gt;, the text used by Erasmus for his Greek New Testament which became the basis for the King James Version of 1611. It is also referred to as the Received Text.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;While the &lt;i&gt;Textus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; Receptus&lt;/i&gt; strictly belongs to the family of texts known as the Byzantine or Majority texts, it was a poor exemplar of the family and was also incomplete.&amp;nbsp; Erasmus rounded out the text by translating from the Latin to fill the lacuna&amp;rsquo;s within the text.&amp;nbsp; Hence the &lt;i&gt;Textus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; Receptus&lt;/i&gt; becomes an eclectic text rather than a good example of the Majority texts. So to claim that the New Testament translation is based on the Byzantine texts when the &lt;i&gt;Textus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; Receptus&lt;/i&gt; has been used indicates a misunderstanding of a basic fact.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;My second reservation would be the same for any translation that has been done by one person. Such translations can be great for reading but don&amp;rsquo;t start to build doctrines on his understanding of the language unless it is well supported elsewhere.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
