A new translation would certainly be required. It is this translator's effort to provide a translation as free of tradition as possible, in the hopes that this will bring the reader closer to the paradigm of the original followers of Jesus. In many cases, Greek was a second language to the authors, who existed under entirely different conditions than we do today. While they saw clearly what were their own customs and patterns of thought, we today often have trouble distinguishing between the intent of the author and our own preconceived notions. Therefore, we must carefully distinguish between our own opinions and the facts.
Every translation follows the opinions of the translators and is therefore an opinion.
The value of this translation rests not in its authoritative nature but in the examination of the different paradigm which it may be found to contain.
