Many feel modern translation is needed to appreciate Bible ! i ly Louis Cassels ! UPI Staff Wfltar ' j The King James version of the ' Bible, which was translated In j 1611 A.D., has never been rivalled I for poetic beauty and majesty of ; expresslop. From a purely liter ! ary viewpoint, it towers over all ' modern translations as Shake j ipcare, does over a TV script. But more than 1,000 English 1 words and phrases used in the Bi j We . have - undergone significant 1 changes of meaning since the j King James was published 352 j years ago. j That's why many people feel that a good modern translation is essential for anyone who plans to ; read the Bible seriously, i Which modern translation you choose is a matter of taste. The ! chief contenders for public and scholarly favor are the Revised I Standard Version and the ,Ncw . English Bible. . . , . The Revised Standard Version Is essentially a re-wrlto and up dating of the old King James, us ing the same sentence structures Kitt fitiKctllirflncr mntnmnorArv for . n 1 I archaic English words where noc eiarry to make Uie original I meaning clear. It Is available In 1 a vast variety of editions. One of 1 the finest, for serious reading and i study purposes, Is the new Ox- ford Annotated Bible (Oxford Unl ? erslty Press, $7.95), which hat j helpful footnotes on every page, j ' Still Being Translated iTho Old Testament portion of the new English Bible ' is still being translated, and won't be ' available for some years yet The '; New Testament portion has been ! a best-sellor since March, 1961. It j is an entirely fresh translation of ; the original Greek into contempo ' rary, idiomatic English. While It J lacks literary grace at many l points, it hits the reader right be j tween the eyes as a message nd ; dressed to htm in his own every- I day tongue. Those who have ' ceased to get any real impact out of overly-famlllar passages of the y King James will have the feeling , that they are reading the Bible i for the first time. 1 Where you begin reading Is at ' least as important as the choice ' of a translation. Many people j make the mistake of trying to read the Bible straight through 1 from beginning to end, as if it ! were an ordinary book or novel. ! If you do that, you are very apt to get "bogged down in the be : gats" when you reach the dull i and endless geneaologies of the ! Old Testament. , It is more accurate to think of : the Bible as a whole library of , books, written at various times 1 over a span of 1,500 years. These books differ enormously in liter ary style, historical value and spiritual depth. Except in a very broad sense, they do not tell a consecutive narrative, so there's no need to "begin at the begin ning" and plow straight through. Begin In Middle Instead, you can begin in the middle, with the part of the Bible which to Christians is the most important and exciting news ever reported upon this earth the story of Jesus Christ. The Bible is a book about God; it tells what He did for men, especially in Jesus Christ His son," says Prof. Floyd V. Filson of McCormick Tehological Seminary. "Read the whole Bible by all means, but get to the heart of the biblical message at the start." Prof. Filson recommends begin ning with the New Testament books of Luke and Acts. They were written by the same author, and although they are now sep arated in the Bible, it is clear that they were originally Intend ed to go together, for they tell a single, connected story. The first part the Gospel ac cording to St. Luke is the story of Christ's life, death and resur rection, written especially for a Gentile audience by a man who seems to have been a very care ful reporter with an eye for vivid detail and a gift for poetic ex pression. In the Acts of the Apostles, the same writer tells how the Chris tian church came into being un der the awesome impact of the resurrection, and traces its spread throughout the Roman Empire, with particular attention to the missionary voyages of the Apostle Paul, with whom Luke travelled extensively. Proceed To St. John After reading Luke-Acts, you may want to proceed to the Gos pel according to St. John. Here you'll find less concern with events and sayings, more empha sis on meaning and significance. To over-simplify, you might say that Luke is the reporter who tells you what Jesus did and said, while John is Uie theologian who tells who Jesus was and why He came. St. Paul's letters could well come next especially those ad dressed to the young churches at Corinth and Rome. After that you can finish the other Gospels and Epistles of the New Testament in almost any order that appeals to you. Eventually, you'll want to read the whole Old Testament, for Christianity cannot be truly com prehended without a thorough ac quaintance with the Jewish scrip tures which Jesus said he came "not to destroy but to fulfill." But it may be best to ease your way into the Old Testament by reading first the book of Psalms the greatest collection of devo tional poetry the world has ever known. After the Psalms, try Isaiah, the noblest and most moving of the Hebrew books of "prophecy. Then, when you're well acquaint ed with .the sublime heights to which the children of Israel are destined to move in their knowl edge of God, you can go back to Genesis and begin tracing the early story of this remarkable who were chosen by God for a special role as light-bearers to mankind. Chose Good Commentary Whatovor sequence you follow, you will find far more meaning in the Bible if you read it in con nection with a good Commentary. Before beginning to read any book of the Bible, find out from the commentary what scholars have discovered about its date and authorship, and Uie historical circumstances under which it was written. This background infor mation will enable you to under stand many otherwise-baffling passages. McNamara TFX case is seen weak WASHINGTON (UPI) A for mer Pentagon employe said this week that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara had "no real supportable" technical case for awarding the TFX fighter plane contract to General Dynam os Corp. Albert W. Blackburn, a former Marine major and test pilot who worked on the TFX contract, also implied that in the final competi tive round. General Dynamics copied most of the superior de sign features submitted in a rival bid by Boeing Co. "All of the imaginative aerody namic fixes devised by Boeing in their third submission...somehow found their way into the final General Dynamics design to a de gree of similarity that would hard ly be a coincidence," Blackburn declared. The statements were contained In a memorandum prepared March 1 by Blackburn before he resigned from his Pentagon post March 25. It was released bv the Senate In vestigations subcommittee, which is looking into the disputed multi million dollar award. Blackburn worked in the office of Dr. Harold Brown, the Penta gon's chief of research. He was resrjonsible for coordinating the TFX program in Brown's office. Blackburn said McNamara's de cision reversing unanimous mili tary recommendations tavoruig the Boeing design had a damaging impact on the morale 01 nunareos of professional military men as sociated with the program. He said the Defense Department chief owed it to the personnel in volved "as a matter of loyalty to his own oreanization to state his real reasons for selecting General Dynamics over Boeing. Blackburn suggestea me ae- cision was oasea on mgirci level" considerations, rather than on design superiority or cost fac tors which he said clearly favored Boeing. These "higher level tactors, ne said, may have been a desire to place a big defense contract at General Dynamic's Fort Worth, Tex., plant to h e 1 p an economic ally depressed area ana prevem the facility from being shut down.
