Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible - includes Prefaces to 1st, Revised, & 3rd Editions

More about the book

The author's preface emphasizes the importance of truth over aesthetic appeal in literary interpretation. It suggests that while a literal translation may lack musicality, the pursuit of authenticity in meaning is paramount. This perspective sets the tone for a work that prioritizes honesty and clarity in expression, inviting readers to engage with the deeper truths within the text rather than simply enjoying its lyrical qualities.
