Summary "Lectures on Bible Revision" by Samuel Newth is a scholarly examination written in the late 19th century. The text focuses on the significance of biblical revisions, particularly the need for an updated understanding of the English Bible in light of historical and linguistic changes. It serves as a resource for Sunday-school and Bible-class teachers to navigate the complexities of these revisions and engage thoughtfully with their communities. The opening of the work introduces the author's aim to clarify the distinctions between the substance and form of Scripture, urging readers to acknowledge that while the truths contained in the Bible are eternal, the language and translations are subject to change. Newth emphasizes that reverence for the Scriptures should focus on the underlying truths rather than the specific wording, which has evolved over time. He reflects on historical translations and revisions, illustrating how the English Bible has transformed through various interpreters and linguistic shifts, underscoring the necessity of ongoing revision to maintain its relevance and accuracy for contemporary readers.
