Jt:Just a suggestion:Do a little research on the controversy surrounding both Dakes and his Bible. How much of what you've been writing is 'sourced' from the DB? ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 27, 2004 20:14 Subject: [TruthTalk] [CHRISTIA] dake... darby   I don't know much about Darby, but I have a Dakes Bible. Have had one since 1979 and really like it.  It's not the ONLY Bible I use but if I have a conflict or a question I always look at his notes to see what he says about it and then go to some other sources also. IMO Dakes Bible is right next to Strongs as a Bible Study tool.   judyt       The Darby translation is from JN Darby, first published in 1890. You can find more information here:   http://www.ccel.org/bible/jnd/darby.htm   I found some info on the Dake Bible here:   http://www.dake.com/who.html   It seems that the Dake version is the KJV with Finis Jennings Dake's reference notes.   http://www.dake.com/faq.html   Personally, I'm rather wary of using a version translated by only 1 person for authoritative work. Translations by committee may seem maddening at times, but many people working together can provide a more thorough view of the text in the original languages.   Anyway, my Hebrew professor (Allen Ross) is fond of saying that a translation is merely a commentary. When you read the Bible in English, you're reading what the translator(s) can infer from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.   JA John Alexander [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepage.mac.com/johnalex1/     On Jul 26, 2004, at 7:57 PM, the harrisons wrote:   > anyone know anything about these Bibles? > > > For subscription information, visit > <http://www.rowan.edu/~kilroy/CHRISTIA> > To leave the list, send the command UNSUB CHRISTIA to > [EMAIL PROTECTED]     For subscription information, visit <http://www.rowan.edu/~kilroy/CHRISTIA> To leave the list, send the command UNSUB CHRISTIA to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
