Byzantine Text Version (2022)
Adam Boyd released the Byzantine Text Version in 2022. It is based on the Robinson-Pierpont third edition (RP2018). Boyd describes it as following the “‘optimal equivalence’ philosophy of translation, employing a literary style that is reminiscent of the Tyndale-King James legacy while flowing smoothly and naturally in modern English.” He added: “On the literal to dynamic scale, I would put it somewhere between ESV and CSB (but closer to ESV).” There are three editions:
- The New Testament: Byzantine Text Version: Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle, free access and PDF download on Archive.org. Boyd says: “This is the standard edition of my translation that only documents variants when the Byzantine text is split. It also has references for Old Testament quotations.”
- The New Testament: Byzantine Text Version Reader’s Edition: Paperback. Boyd says, “This edition has no chapter numbers, verse numbers, references, or footnotes. It does have some section breaks in the longer books.”
- The Text-Critical English New Testament: Byzantine Text Version: Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle, free access and PDF download on Archive.org. Boyd says: “This edition includes text-critical notes documenting translatable difference in 11 editions of the Greek New Testament. Manuscript percentages are listed for variants that have been fully collated.”
All three editions are released under the Creative Commons Attribution license so that they may be freely shared with proper attribution.
