the Bible is the best seller of all time - especially at Christmas-but not everybody understands that it is one of the most tinkered- with books in history Publishers, schol- ars, and the laity can't keep their hands off it.
 In le40, there were 5,267, ,529 copies of the Bible, New Testament and Gospels sold in wardrained China alone, and the American Bible So- ciety estimates that 25 million copies
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-12-23

of the Bible, or some portion of it, were sold throughout the world last year.
 The Bible tinkers are not the many translators always at work. either These take care of great languages such as Chinese and Arabic; of little languages such as Miskito, which serves only 25,000 people on the central American coast. Nor are they merely laymen with an itch to express themselves.
 The Catholic Church now has a revised New Testament, it's first since Bishop Richard Chaloner's version two centuries ago. And the Church is at work on the Old Tes- lament. Both of these are drawn from the Latin Vulgate; distin- guished Catholic scholar, the Very Rev. Francis Aloysius Spencer, trans lated the New Testament directly from the Greek and published his version four years ago.
 There is still another translation which bases its distinctive quality on its source a translation from the vernacular. which is to say, from Aramaic. It is by George M. Lamsa and is called The New Testament according to the Eastern Text; it does odd things with our accepted world pictures, too.
 For example. the Aramaic words for camel and rope are the same, and the rich mans chance of en- tering heaven is bettered, for here 1t is rope, and not a camel, which must pass through the eye of the needle.
 Another slightly disconcerting version is The New Testament in Basic English" Basic English is the simplified vocabulary worked out by c. K, Agden, and (for this trans lation) expanded by 150 words to total of 1,000-however, certain es- sential words are not in basic Eng fish. So Take, eat" (Matthew 26 :26) becomes take it" in this version, and the will of God becomes the pleasure" of God, or sometimes His purpose"
 James Moffatt's translation of the complete Bible has been out six years, although his New Testament was published first in 1901. Two years ago The Complete Bible" was published in Chicago by J. M. Good speed; last year the same scholars produced The Short Bible" in the Modern Library, an abridgement with the books in chronological order, and the translations selected from various sources.
 R. F. Weymouth's The New Tes- lament in Modern Speech" has been well known for 39 years, and John Strings "The Bible for Today" probably will circulate widely.
 But the tinkers go much farther. Robert O. Ballous "The Bible of the World" is a condensation of essential passages from the Jewish Christian Bible, but also from seven other of the great world religions.
