Right, but all the versions try to be faithful to what they translate as compared to the original. What if all the publishers did a wholesale slaughter of the "holy" books and nobody could get a King James that didn't have significant changes, because there's a LOT more that needs to be changed in the bible, in a woke perspective.
And personal versions like the Jefferson one can be discounted - that's not the subject of the conversation. Anyone can change a Dahl book, but we're talking about all the big publishers changing it.
- JohnFen 4y ago> all the versions try to be faithful to what they translate as compared to the original Certainly not all, but that's not really relevant to the discussion of whether or not it's OK to change an author's work and represent it as the original. > What if all the publishers did a wholesale slaughter of the "holy" books Well, that's just an extreme and paranoid hypothetical and is unrelated to what we're actually talking about here. > nobody could get a King James that didn't have significant changes If there are significant changes, it's not the King James version. Calling it that would be wrong.
