Anybody familiar with "Mirror Bible"....??
I just saw this advertised on a website.
Makes me wonder......
I cannot seem to find anything questionable in the few reviews I have been able to find. It is paraphrased and the verses expanded a bit for clarity I would guess. I did find this:
"The following is from the information section. Bold and
Red lettering added for emphasis."
"THE MIRROR TRANSLATION The Mirror Translation is a paraphrased translation from the original text. While strictly following the literal meaning of the original text, sentences have been constructed so that the larger meaning is continually emphasized by means of an expanded text. Some clarifying notes are included in italics. This is a paraphrased study rather than a literal translation. While the detailed shades of meaning of every Greek word have been closely studied, this is done taking into account the consistent context of the entire chapter within the wider epistle, and bearing in mind the full context of Jesus and his finished work, which is what the message of the Bible is all about. © Copyright Francois du Toit 2011 - You are free to copy and to use, but not to alter the text, attribute it to a different source or sell any part thereof.
