Same friend, different translation questions

Post by MaxPC »

I appreciate the feedback from you as this friend is asking me questions about translations with which I am unfamiliar.

Berean Literal Bible:

Accuracy?

Pros?

Cons?

My question: Is this Bible associated with the Christadelphians/Berean Christadelphians?

Here is their website:

https://bereanbible.com/

Berean Literal Bible is an extremely literal translation done by competent people associated with Bible Hub. It is literal enough to be particularly useful in interlinears, which was one of their goals. Another goal was to have free licensing - I think it wound up being "freeish" licensing, but freer than most. You can see their interlinear here:

You can also see it in the interlinear on Bible Hub:

For normal reading, they also have a translation called the Berean Study Bible, available on the same website. Also freeishly licensed. I like both translations.

The Greek text they use is the Nestle 1904, they have modernized the Greek spelling and made a few other small changes, but it is mostly the same as the Nestle 1904.

No relationship at all to the Berean Christadelphians. The name comes from Acts 17:
Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
May we all be Bereans.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?
