We then finally learn about the use of footnotes in the NLT, which gives clarification of all of the issues discussed in the preceding pages on the translation of the Bible. Here is a list of issues covered in the footnotes, although you may to choose to read these pages for further clarification:
- Literal translations;
- Alternative renditions;
- Textual Variants, especially from the Textus Receptus,
- Quotations between testaments;
- Cultural and historical information to enlighten the text;
- Wordplay in proper names.
"We pray that the New Living Translation will overcome some of the barriers of history, culture and language that have kept people from reading and understanding God's Word."
We were once again confronted with some very mundane looking pages in our Bible.
I once more treated both pages to a coating of Zellen Clear Gesso.
Once it was touch dry, I slipped a protective shield in between the pages and weighted it down to straighten the pages.
This is what my pages looked like when I opened the Bible back up the next day.
I once more decided to use a serviette that I had to decorate the pages with.
I removed two layers of backing paper from the serviette.
Then I cut the motifs from the serviette and arranged them on my page.
I used Dala Acrylic Matt Glaze Medium to decoupage the motifs onto the pages. I waited for it to become touch dry, and then I sealed the pages with the same medium.
I then painted the backgrounds of the two pages in Yellow Ochre, using my watercolours.
When the pages were dry, I slipped a protective shield in between the pages and weighted it down.
My layout when I was done with it.
