English Translations

Choose your four required translations from the following list. Remember: each of the three types of translations must be represented in your analysis.
Note: the King James Version can ONLY be used as a FIFTH translation in a very limited manner.
Any translation not on this list MUST be cleared with the professor IN ADVANCE of its use for the Analysis Paper; otherwise it will not be counted in the guidelines.
