In this video, I describe a method for characterizing translations of the New Testament based on the degree to which they agree with four different Greek New Testaments: Westcott & Hort, the Nestle-Aland 28th edition, the Tyndale House Greek New Testament, and the Robinson-Pierpont Byzantine Textform. This video shows how twenty-six (26) English translations scored when compared to those four Greek New Testaments.
