Those who like paraphrases like the New Living "Translation"...
It seems to me, from what I've read about Alter's work, it is a welcome
counter-balance to the excesses of paraphrases posing as translations ...
... which are striving for originality and novelty in English. In the words
of the reviewer:-
There is nothing worse than a religious translation that reaches down to
its intended audience with modernisms and colloquialisms; for one thing,
modernisms and colloquialisms date so quickly.
I heartily agree.
