Dr. Brad Young has spent over 25 years researching what was the Hebrew thought and wording underpinning the Greek text of the New Testament. Using this method, his translation reconstructs the Hebrew sources, language and mindset behind the early church and its foundational documents. Readers will now hear what first century listeners in ancient Israel would have heard because the translation brings to light the Jewish cultural, linguistic and spiritual setting of Jesus as a Jew.
The Hebrew Heritage Bible (HHB) presents Q&A with Dr. Young:
In segment #1 of HHB presents, Dr. Young explains the need for a historical translation that speaks of the faith of Jesus to enhance a Christian’s faith in Jesus.
In segment #2 of HHB presents, Dr. Young explains why he translated Matthew 6:10 in The Lord’s Prayer as “May You continue establishing Your kingdom. May Your will be done in heaven and in earth.”
In segment #3 of HHB presents, Dr. Young explains why he translated Matthew 11:12 as “From the days of Yochanan the Immerser until now, the kingdom of heaven is powerfully breaking its way forward, and people breaking out with its power are seizing hold of it.”
In segment #4 of HHB presents, Dr. Young explains why he translated Matthew 22:40 as “The entire complex of teachings contained in the Torah and Prophets are actually derived from their interconnection with these two commandments.
In segment #5 of HHB presents, Dr. Young addresses the question if Paul is different from Jesus in the outlook of Gentiles keeping a Torah-based lifestyle.
In segment #6 of HHB presents, Dr. Young addresses some of the anti-Jewish translations of the New Testament.
