The <em>New Testament: Breakthrough Version<\/em>, by Ray Geide, intends to be as accurate as possible to the Greek text.<\/p>\n<p>Reading through this version, it is easy to understand. The words are clear and a wide range of ages would be able to read them. Geide aimed for a balance between literal and dynamic translation; staying true to the original meaning, yet coherent enough to read through. I had no problem with how the translation read.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot speak with any authority on how close this is to the Greek text. I do not read Greek, so whatever I may know of the Greek language is what I have heard over the years. As far as I can tell, it is an accurate translation when I compare it to the Bibles I have. Since I need both Old and New Testaments for studying, I will need to use other translations. However, I look forward to using the Breakthrough Version when I can. It provides a new and easy to understand look at the New Testament that I can use to prepare for lessons.<\/p>\n<p>I received a free copy of the <em>New Testament: Breakthrough Version<\/em> from the author as part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookcrash.com\">BookCrash<\/a> program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The are many Bible translations and versions that have come out in recent years.
