Dr. Young published his new rendition of the Hebrew Heritage Bible Newer Testament using dynamic equivalents in English of the Greek text which communicate the Hebrew meaning of the sayings of Jesus. Bookstores will stock The Newer Testament December 1st. Young uses the word "Newer Testament" in order to highlight the interconnectedness and coherence of the Old and New Testaments. New Testament studies start with the Hebrew heritage of the “Older” Testament. The Hebrew Heritage guided the cultural, historical, linguistic, and textual foundations of Dr. Young's careful translation work. The Newer Testament uncovers the authentic, pure first-century context for personal devotion, comparative translation study, and academic reference. Professor Young studied at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem with Professor Flusser for his MA and PhD and is emeritus professor of Biblical Literature and Judaic-Christian Studies in the Graduate School of Theology at Oral Roberts University. He is the Founder and President of the Gospel Research Foundation.
The Hebrew Heritage Translation Newer Testament uses dynamic equivalents in English of the Greek text which communicate the Hebrew meaning of the sayings of Jesus. Present translations render the Greek text without thought for the Hebraic perspective of early Christianity. Every reader should be able to hear the words with a like-minded understanding similar to the original audience who first heard the message.
