> It's like when the medieval Catholic Church refused to print a bible in anything but Latin so that they'd remain the sole authority on its content. I'd say reading the Bible, or any other deep philosophical/spiritual text in a translation is almost an utter waste of time (unless that actually helps you psychologically, then it is not), if not harmful. The original words and phrasing with all their possible meanings make a huge lot more sense than specific translations. Something that sounds banal or weird can actually mean something entirely different and deep once you carefully analyze the original words. It is, however, important to remember Latin is not the original for the Bibile. But it still has a lot of what has been lost in many other translations.
