New AENT Website
#2
Good to see you back, Luc! For some reason I also have a hard time buying the idea that thousands of experts have contributed to the AENT <!-- sWink --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/wink1.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><!-- sWink -->

I am trying to send an email to the website, but it won't go through. The AENT is a great version, but really needs a lot of work. Roth and Baruch need to work less on the commentary and supplementary material and more on the translation itself. Here are my main nit-picks with the AENT as it currently exists:

1. Typographical errors that could be easily corrected.

2. Obvious translation errors.

3. Inconsistent transliterations.

4. Blatant theological bias in the translation.

5. The Aramaic and English texts need to line up perfectly. It makes no sense to retain the Khabouris reading in the English and the 1905 reading in the Aramaic (or in vice-verse).

6. Matthew 21:4 needs to be corrected to line up with the Eastern text.

Right now, I think Glenn David Bauscher's The Original Aramaic New Testament in Plain English, Janet Magiera's Aramaic Peshitta New Testament Translation, and the Way International's Aramaic-English Interlinear New Testament, and George Lamsa's Holy Bible From the Ancient Eastern Text are the highest quality modern English Peshitta translations (not saying any of them are perfect, but they are professionally done). They are all very easy to read despite their literalness and are not riddled with typographical and grammatical errors. The AENT will definitely occupy a spot on that list of mine when these things are corrected. A lot of the translation errors were probably carried over from Paul's Interlinear and James Murdock's translation. It just aggravates me that the AENT has been out since 2008 and a lot of the most important errors have NOT been fixed. I want a better, more high quality translation of the Peshitta New Testament more than I want more of Andrew Gabriel Roth's commentary (which is interesting at times and flat out ignorant in other spots, in my opinion).
