Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible

More about the book

Young's Literal Translation offers a distinct approach to biblical text, emphasizing a very literal rendering of the original Hebrew and Greek. Published initially in 1862, it relies on the Textus Receptus and Majority Text, employing present tense in many narratives where others use past tense. This method allows for closer alignment with the original scriptures, providing readers a benchmark for evaluating the accuracy of contemporary translations. Young's work serves as a tool for understanding the nuances between translation and interpretation in biblical texts.
