Bible Scholarship.

I was wondering if there are any Bible scholar(s) - translator(s) today that could match the scholarship of any of the translators of the 1611 or that of Tyndale.


Tyndale new 8 languages as if they were his native tongue.

Lancelot Andrews was the Chairman of the overall committee and was the greatest linguist of his day, being conversant with fifteen languages! His manual for private devotions, prepared by him, is wholly in the Greek language.

John Bois was able to read the Bible in Hebrew at the age of five years! He was a proficient Greek scholar at the age of fourteen and for years he spent from 4 o'clock in the morning till 8 o'clock at night in the Cambridge library studying manuscripts and languages. His library contained one of the most complete collections of Greek literature ever assembled.

Computer vs. human intellect

I would think artificial intelligence is different then real God gifted human intellect.
I am talking about personal intelligence. Not some one who can just push buttons to bring up a language he really knows nothing about.

I did not say Modern day scholarship is Ignorant. Nor was I trying to Prove they were

I have many Greek programs and Hebrew programs on my computer. I can tell you
"In the original language" or "In the Greek this word means" this and I can compare Greek words throughout the New Testament. This does not mean I know the language.

this does not prove a person is smarter or dumber. I could communicate with a thousand freshman seminary or other scholars. This does not make a person smarter.

This statement has already proven not true on the Greek text thread.

Put Tyndale or one of the translators in the same room with the top scholar of today, who would come out on top. How would the scholarship stack up man for man, brain for brain, learning for learning.
