The Bible Union version was met with a great deal of resistance and rightly so. Initially this began with as a result of the Bible societies not wanting to publish foreign language versions what translated Baptizo as immerse rather than transliterating it. However it evolved into an attempt not only to change these words in English but rather revise and &#8220;correct&#8221; the entire Bible. Eventually such people as Alexander Campbell were brought in. Much of this effort was folded into the RV with its use of the corrupt Alexandrian texts. These efforts sounded good initially but when the finished product was revealed there were changes far beyond the mandate that were harmful to the Word of God. While adhering to the received text more that others- it still showed much in the way of critical revisions in the text. ) Bible Union, The American, was formed in New York, June 10, 1850, by a number of indi- viduals, chiefly Baptists, who had co-operated with the American and Foreign Bible Society, until it decided that it was not its duty to revise the com- mon English Bible, nor to procure such a revision from others ; and so would confine its circulation in that tongue to that version. The Baptists of America had withdrawn from the American Bible Society because it refused aid to the Bengalee and Burmese translations, made by Baptist mission- aries, in. which the Greek term Baptizo and its cognates had been rendered by words signifying \u201cimmerse,\u201d \u2018\u2018immersion,\u201d etc. The English trans- lation had been made the standard to which all other translations should conform and not the in- spired originals, and the founders of the Union felt compelled by consistency to demand that on the principle of fidelity translations in all languages should be conformed to the Hebrew and Greek texts. Hence the constitution of the Union defines its purpose thus: \u201cTo procure and circulate the most faithful versions of the Sacred Scriptures in all languages throughout the world.\u201d Under this broad provision it selected ripe scholars from nine different Christian denominations in Europe and America, to whom it committed the revision of the English Bible. This was the first organized at- tempt ever made to apply the accumulated fruits of Biblical scholarship, since 1611, to a revisionof the English Bible for the benefit of the un- learned reader, and it met with the most deter- mined resistance. Butin an unswerving adherence to a divine principle the attempt was pushed, be- lieving that both ignorance and prejudice must yield at last to the demands of true scholarship. No expense was spared to secure the oldest translations of the Bible, copies of the ancient manuscripts, and other aids for making the revisions and translations as perfect as possible. Nor were the scholars em- ployed restricted as to time and free conference. The New Testament passed through three thorough revisions, the first covering a period of eight years, the second four, and the third more than two. The following are the rules for the government of the scholars employed by the Union in revising the English New Testament, namely : \u2018\u2018 The received Greek text, critically edited, with known errors corrected, must be followed. \u201cThe common English version must be the basis of revision, and only such alterations must be made as the exact meaning of the text and the existing state of the language may require. \u201cThe exact meaning of the inspired text, as that text expressed it to those who understood the original Scriptures at the time they were first writ- ten, must be given in corresponding words and phrases, so far as they can be found in the English language, with the least possible obscurity or in- definiteness.\u201d\u2019 Under the operation of these rules not only the English, but the Spanish and Italian New Testa- ments have been revised. And the same general principles have been applied in revising the Eng- lish Old Testament, that is, the books of Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, etc., and also in the new translations of the New Testament into the Chinese character and the Ningpo. colloquial. In these forms the Union has circulated over a million copies of the Scriptures, and although at present its work has been largely suspended for want of necessary funds, it has cre- ated such a demand for a corrected English Bible as now takes hold of the public mind, and cannot be relaxed till this aim is accomplished in harmony with the real wants of the age.From the Baptist Encyclopedia by William Cathcart <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baptist Church History Daily Baptist Encyclopedia- The American Bible Union(This is an article that really is in need of comment as this was a work in progress (going through multiple versions) at the time the encyclopedia was published.
