Hi B-Greek,
Apologies in advance, this may be seen as barely "on-topic".
I am interested in the exchange between E V Rieu and J B Phillips on the
merits of their respective translations of the four Gospels.
F F Bruce, in his "History of the Bible in English" (p 226f) says that it
was printed in The Bible Translator in October 1955. This was subsequent
to its broadcast on the BBC on December 3, 1953. He then goes on to give a
summary of the debate.
At http://theologytoday.ptsem.edu/jul1960/v17-2-bookreview15.htm in what
seems to be a scanned OCR document, that was originally intended to be a
transcript of the above (see the first paragraph of section 265) but turned
out to be some other discussion on the topic of Bible translation.
If anyone can lay their hands on a transcript of the exchange between E V
Rieu and J B Phillips, or point me in the right direction, I would be most
appreciative. Theological library access is not really practical from
here, and I have my doubts about the Bible College of Victoria (Australia)
having a copy.
Thank you & God Bless,
James Forsyth
