NIGEL2112 Actually, most 'true bible text scholars' have NOT praised for the NWT for any such thing: • Dr. Bruce M. Metzger, professor of New Testament at Princeton University, calls the NWT "a frightful mistranslation," "Erroneous" and "pernicious" "reprehensible". • Dr. William Barclay, a leading Greek scholar, said "it is abundantly clear that a sect which can translate the New Testament like that is intellectually dishonest." • British scholar H.H. Rowley stated, "From beginning to end this volume is a shining example of how the Bible should not be translated." • Dr. Julius Mantey , author of A Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament: The NWT is "a shocking mistranslation." "Obsolete and incorrect." "I have never read any New Testament so badly translated as The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of The Greek Scriptures.... it is a distortion of the New Testament."
