Summary

"Lectures on Bible Revision" by Samuel Newth is a late 19th-century exploration of why the Bible needs updates. It aims to help teachers in Sunday school and Bible classes understand the importance of revising the English Bible to reflect changes in history and language. The lectures explain that while the core messages of the Bible are timeless, the words used to express them have changed over the years. Newth argues that we should respect the Bible's deeper truths, rather than focusing too much on the exact wording, since translations have evolved. He looks back at past translations and revisions, showing how the English Bible has changed and why it's important to keep revising it so it stays accurate and relevant for today's readers.
