ISHERWOOD St. John's Anglican ChWch Thousands of visitors are daily passing by the fabulous treasure of' King Tùtankbamen on display ini Toronto. Every effort is being made to help them understand and appreciate these works of-art and faith. Magazine articles. traffie signs, cassette tapes, ail have. been designed to in- crease the understanding of the uninltiated. - What a waste it would be .to let these treasures gather dust and tarnish, te leave themn in a poor ligbt, and then to invite the curious to view them. Their value and beauty would be no less, but what a dlsappointment te the casual viewert There is an infinitely greater treasure in almost ail our houses, our hotels, hospîtals and sehools. But that tresure bas suffered a tragic fate we wouldn't ailow to befal the treasures of Tut. It has becomne covered with the dust of tbree hundred and fifty years and is illuminated only by the poor light of the seventeenth centuryr. That treasure 18 the Bible, the tragedy is that is has become enshrined in the - formn of the classic King James Version. The King James Version is undoubtedly a clasic, as "Wuthering Heigbts" is a classic. It bas made a great con- tribution to the Englishilanguage as well as to the spread of Cbristianity. Its grand language and tumn of phrase stil make for easy memorization. There is a great deal te be said in its favour. liowever, it is flot the Bible for today. The èlanguage 0of King James' day, beautiful as it is, can bide the punch'wbich the Bible packs-. (in Acts 8: 20, Peter says teSimon Magus: "Thy money perish with thee." (LIV) J.B. Phillips version reads: "To bell with you, and your money".) The episties (letters) especially, instead of being cballenging and relevant'cails to a changed life have become soothing melodies in our ears. The parables of Jesus, clear pictues to bis hearers, bave become unintended mysteries- to the uninitiated. (In Mat- thew 5: 13 Jesus asks: "If the sait bave lost bis savour, wberewith shall it be salted? " (KJV) The'Geod News Bible reads: "If sait loses is saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again.") More importantly, the most up-to-date document in the world.has ben given the appearance of a valuable but out- dated museum piece. Wbile the language of the King James Version is sometimes confusing, is interpretationi of the source documents can be positively inaccurate. The new tran- slations are not pei-fect, but using the tools of modem scholarsbip and archaeology,- they are certainly more ac- curate. The Dead Sea Scrolls for instance, first discovered in 1947, have added greatly to our ability to translate Isaiah accurately. If the King James Version does prevent understandlng and does discourage newcomers, then why do we continue to distribute it in sebools, bospitals, and hotels and te give it .$19800 arts ha tUs thi rec cor Fgr£ yea thai a VI by t rant Qi-anis tetalling $1,840,539 ve been awarded te 294 am- gs and 351 organizations, eluding one in Whitby by eOntario Arts Council.
