There is no question of the Basic work taking the place of the Authorised Version or coming into competition with it but it may be said of this new English Bible that it is in a marked degree straightforward and simple and that these qualities give it an independent value. In fact, the Basic expert is forced, because of the limited material with which he is working, to give special care to the sense of the words before him. It is only natural that, from time to time, some of the more delicate shades of sense have not been covered on the other hand, it is well to keep in mind that in the Authorised Version the power and music of the language sometimes take so much of the reader's attention that these more delicate shades are overlooked. The Basic Bible, which in this way was watched over by two separate groups of experts through its different stages, is designed to be used wherever the English language has taken root.įrequently, the narrow limits of the word-list make it hard to keep the Basic completely parallel with the Hebrew and the Greek but great trouble has been taken with every verse and every line to make certain that there are no errors of sense and no loose wording. In this undertaking, the latest ideas and discoveries in connection with the work of putting the Bible into other languages were taken into account, and when the Basic form was complete it was gone over in detail by a Committee formed by the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press. Hooke, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Studies in the University of London, has been responsible for a new English form of the Bible made from the Hebrew and the Greek.
