第一篇:關(guān)于英文圣經(jīng)版本
問(wèn)題:讀那些較新版的圣經(jīng)有什么好處嗎?
提問(wèn)者:我想知道您對(duì)那些新版的英文圣經(jīng)有何看法?閱讀新版英文圣經(jīng)會(huì)不會(huì)有危險(xiǎn)呢?您怎么認(rèn)為?
道格牧師:恩,我個(gè)人認(rèn)為是存在一定危險(xiǎn)的。因?yàn)槔锩娴暮眯﹥?nèi)容都依著個(gè)人偏見(jiàn)翻譯過(guò)來(lái)的。今天晚上,我的一個(gè)朋友告訴我,他的妻子曾讀過(guò)一陣子新版圣經(jīng),但她并不滿意;所以她想重新學(xué)習(xí)老版的圣經(jīng)了。
但是,我最喜歡的版本是最接近于拉丁標(biāo)準(zhǔn)版的雅各王版和新雅各王版。我對(duì)這些也做過(guò)很多研究,我聽(tīng)到過(guò)兩方面的爭(zhēng)論。
讓我來(lái)解釋一下這種現(xiàn)象。雅各王版圣經(jīng)的版權(quán)是公開(kāi)的。出版商為了出售擁有自己版權(quán)的圣經(jīng)來(lái)賺錢,并防止盜版,必須要在原來(lái)的版本上做一些改動(dòng)以成為新的版本,這樣他們就有了自己的版權(quán)并去銷售獲利。
提問(wèn)者:是的。
道格牧師:想不到吧?如果你未經(jīng)允許引用諸如新國(guó)際版圣經(jīng)上的經(jīng)文,就會(huì)被起訴——這是事實(shí)——因?yàn)檫@些書(shū)的版權(quán)為出版商所有。
所以,由于金錢的誘惑,促使他們對(duì)圣經(jīng)中的話做了變動(dòng)。但是你知道,同樣的意思在英文中的表達(dá)方式是很多的。
提問(wèn)者:我明白。
道格牧師:所以我最喜愛(ài)的就是精準(zhǔn)性比較高的版本,依次是:雅各王版、新雅各王版、新美國(guó)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)版、新改進(jìn)版。其余的就沒(méi)了,至于新國(guó)際版圣經(jīng),我不太喜歡;但也有很多人喜歡它。還有《新生命圣經(jīng)》,幾乎不是在翻譯,完全是意譯重述。其中竟把“獸印”一詞改成了“紋身”,這樣很危險(xiǎn)。
但是借著每個(gè)版本的圣經(jīng),上帝都在作工。我也看到很多讀這些版本圣經(jīng)的人也都認(rèn)識(shí)并信靠了上帝。因?yàn)槟銌?wèn)我喜歡哪種版本,我就發(fā)表了一下個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)。
提問(wèn)者:是的。道格牧師:這些版本中,有的用來(lái)對(duì)照著看也挺好,但我認(rèn)為基督徒應(yīng)該盡力去記住圣經(jīng)上的話。如果大家都在讀不同版本的圣經(jīng),我們的教會(huì)豈不成了混亂的巴比倫嗎?同樣是圣經(jīng)的話,誰(shuí)跟誰(shuí)說(shuō)的都不一樣。
提問(wèn)者:我想你的回答會(huì)幫助我更好地做出選擇。
道格牧師:泰德,我們奇妙真相有一本小冊(cè)子。你可以不久將會(huì)在我們的網(wǎng)站上找到這個(gè)內(nèi)容。
提問(wèn)者:我知道了。
道格牧師:那篇講章的名子叫做《忠心的見(jiàn)證人》。
第二篇:圣經(jīng)讀后感(英文)[定稿]
Thoughts about the Bible The Bible is God's holy Word.It is God's message to us, and it is the most important book in the entire world.The Bible is the classic works in Christianity, and it provides the British literature with inexhaustible materials.So the Bible has deep influence on British literature.British writers use stories of the Bible by three main methods.First, they quote persons names or stories of the Bible as the characters names or plots of the creations from the Bible directly.Sometimes they make some changes on the original stories.Sometimes they quote stories directly from the Bible as the writing materials.Second, they make use of symbolic meaning of the Bible by some technical such as simile, metaphor and symbolism, so that the stories could exert a great influence on contrasting with the new products.Third, the Bible influences British literature on styles and artistic characteristics.The books retell most of the narratives of the Bible in 411 stories.The books have been marketed in the United States for many years by placing the first volume, which covers the first part of the book of Genesis, in doctor's offices with postage prepaid post cards included for readers to order the set or ask for more information.Originally written in English, the books have been translated into French and Spanish, and a new revision has been made based on the New International Version(NIV)translation of the Bible.As the Holy Bible of the Christianity, its own has strong artistic charm and great aesthetic value, making it as the source of British literary works creation.The Bible records the merits, the faults and evil of the world, reflects the ancient feelings, implorations and ideals, explores the mystery relationships among God, people and the universe, and studies the philosophy of the relationships between people and people, people and the universe, human destiny and life values.British literary works all embody the Bible in all aspects.Therefore, the understanding of the Bible will further our understanding of British literature, will deepen our appreciation of British culture and ideology, and will make us learn, research and appreciate the British literary works better.I've learnt a story from the Bible about Esau and his brother Jacob.They are twins.However, they are so different in temperament: Esau is rough and honest , and Jacob ideceives.One day, Jacob cooks a stew.At this moment, Esau returns from hunting, very exhausted and thirsty, so he asks for it.But Jacob insists that Esau sell his birthright to him and swear an oath.And finally Esau does as Jacob says.As we can see , Esau sells his right as the firstborn just for a mess of pottage.It is Esau not Jacob who has the right to inherit what his father owns.At such a low price, he sells it.He keeps his eyes only on immediate needs , without considerating long-term interests , which should be a lesson for all of us.Esau's story and lessons also apply to people like you and me , who are living in a complex modern society.We are faced with too much temptation.In such cases, you are likely to be conqured and probably do something stupid.How to avoid this? What you can do ,from my point of view , is to keep your reason, stay cool-headed, think over and figure out a solution which can balance immediate interests and long-term interests.The Bible is the story of man's complete ruin in sin and God's perfect salvation in Christ.The Bible is God's love letter to us, telling us that, even though we have turned away from God and broken His commandments, God loves us with all His heart and He wants us to come back to Him.The most precious truth in all the Bible is that the Son of God loved us so much that he left heaven and became a man so that He could die on the cross for our sins.We are not saved by what we do for God, but by what God has done for us in the person of His Son.The Bible says,“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”,“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved...” “What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people.The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” The Bible is the most important book in the world because it tells us how to be saved.God gave us this wonderful book that we might know the truth about ourselves, about sin, about Satan, about God, and about salvation.From beginning to end, the Bible has one great theme — the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.The books of the Bible fall into five main groups: The Old Testament gives us the history of Abraham and his descendants who became the nation of Israel.The great theme of the Old Testament is a promised Savior.Isaiah wrote, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” The Gospels tell us that the promised Savior has come.They tell us about the Lord Jesus Christ and what He said and did.The Acts tell about the coming of the Holy Spirit, the beginning of the Church, and the preaching of the gospel — the “good news” that Christ died for our sins and rose again to be our living Savior.The Epistles explain the gospel and tell us how we can be saved and how to live the Christian life.The Revelation tells us how all things will end.Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had someone who knew all about God to teach us His wonderful book? Well, there is Someone like that.He is the Holy Spirit.The moment we take Christ as our Savior, the Holy Spirit comes to live in us.He lives in every believer, and He teaches us the things of God.

The Most Moving Story in the Bible

Word Count:560
Outline:
1.A brief introduction
2.The detailed description of the story
3.Conclusion
Text:
Among the bible stories, in my opinion, Moses’ story is the most attractive and moving.It’s mainly about the Hebrew hero Moses and his great contributions to his people.Moses was a newborn son of a Hebrew woman.At that time, the king of Egypt gave orders to kill all Hebrew newborn boys and broke Israelites’ spirit by heavy labor because he was afraid of that those
powerful Israelites may become the masters of Egypt.The little boy was protected well by his mother for 3 months but she could conceal no longer.So the mother laid the baby in a basket and put the basket among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.The baby was adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter and he became the prince of Egypt.The name Moses was given by pharaoh’s daughter.Moses grew up.One day, he went to his Hebrew people and saw one was punished by an Egyptian.He killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.But this was known by Pharaoh and he wanted to put Moses to death.So Moses made good in his escape and settled in the land of
Midian where he got married and God gave him the mission of leading Israelites out of Egypt.Moses and his brother Aaron went to Pharaoh and asked him to set those Israelites free and Pharaoh refused.Moses turned his staff into a serpent as God told him.But Pharaoh was very obstinate and didn’t listen to Moses and Aaron.Then Moses changed the water of the Nile into blood and Pharaoh was obdurate as before.Moses had to perform other signs such as the disasters of frogs, maggots, flies and grasshoppers, blights, murrain, disaster of hail and darkness, which still couldn’t persuade Pharaoh.At last, God killed all the first-borns in Egypt
including the first-born of Pharaoh and this made Pharaoh come to terms.When the king of Egypt was told that the Israelites had slipped away, he was seized with remorse.He took his troops to pursue Israelites and he nearly caught up with them by the sea.With God’s help Moses made the waters tear apart so that those Israelites went through the sea on the dry ground.But when Pharaoh’s troops arrived Moses made the water return to its accustomed place and all Pharaoh’s army were inundated.No one survived.This was Israelites’ great success.I like this story most because it presents the adamant people’s strong spirit of looking forward to freedom.Thought the Israelites were weak, they didn’t give in to the powerful king of Egypt.And the main hero was Moses who had strong will to save his people.He understood that the Egyptians were cruel and selfish.He gave up his happy life as a prince of Egypt in the palace and returned to his people.This is why God chose him to perform his miracles.Moses was the loyal follower of God and presented as the representative to deliver God’s ideas.Israelites showed
high admiration to him and he was worthy of it because of his great contributions to his people.

第五篇:圣經(jīng)讀后感英文
The Feeling after Reading the New Testament Holly BibleThe first time that I touched The Bible is in Peter’s home.I was introduced to an English Corner by a good friend.And before that, I have no idea about The Bible and Nazarenes.Until we almost went into Peter’s home, she told me that Peter is a Nazarene and he taught us English lover something about The Bible.I wanted to have a try because of my curiosity.When all of us got into his house, we all felt enthusiastic about each other.Peter prepared dinner for us, and he said to us that all Nazarenes are the family of each other, and all Nazarenes are equal, they help with each other, they share things with each other, and they prepare food for each other for free.Then, we new students received a book The New Testament Holly Bible from Peter;he said that we can see this Bible as a story about Jesus or a Foreigner book to improve our English and know about some European culture.We learned some soft songs about The Bible, smiles on everyone’s face.After that, we started our study of Bible.Bible was commonly described as “a greatest book”.Though The Bible was finished before two thousand years ago, it still has a deep effect among people in nowadays, including all kinds of people, such as leaders, sportsmen or scientists and so on.Several of them read and studied The Bible.To open The Bible is always beneficial.But, it also has some ideas that I can not accept it completely for that I am an atheist.I do not hold that there is someone who has the ability to survive all the people in the world.I had an argue with Peter in this question and I also ask some other friends’ opinion about matter, they all considered that Jesus is the most perfect existence in the world, and he rescued our world, so that we can live at present.The Nazarenes see Jesus as a goddess in Chinese mythology, however, in fact, we Chinese people only serve the great woman as a dream, and we do not fall into the mixture of reality and dummy.In the Bible, they think all the people have sins, and the Jesus was punished because of our sins.Whoever wants to go to the heaven instead of hails must go through him, this is the only way.Jesus is the only cross to the rebirth places.All Nazarenes believe that Jesus is the only one who is perfect completely and he has no sins, so, he is the only person who has the qualification to survive others and undertake their sins.Jesus rescued us, he died.These Nazarenes regard Jesus as God from above, just as The Bible saying, no shortcomings.They obey Jesus and believe in Jesus totally.Whoever believes in Jesus has an eternal life.As what we old emperors did in the past, their orders must be carried out follow emperors’ opinions.That is to say, most of Nazarenes live without their own thoughts and understandings;they live under others’ favors, which is quite foolish and lamentable.At the end of this book, I knew that if I do something good for others, I may get encourage and rewards from that God, otherwise, the God may punish me.Just as the old saying goes, “what is coming not rewarded, not the time.” This are the profound consideration that I get from The Bible, let religious faith become a way of comfort instead of an edged tool used by common people.I believe our world will be better than before.
