Re: Best Bible Version for Scholars for Synoptic Problem?

More recently Magill has put forth the DLNT: "The goal of the Disciples’ Literal New Testament is to help all Bible readers better understand the New Testament from the original writers’ point of view. This is accomplished in two primary ways. First, the translation reflects the Greek forms, gr...
