Pyhä Raamattu, Vanha ja Uusi testamentti, on kirjoitettu Jumalan sana, jonka jumalallisen innoituksen vaikutuksesta pyhät Jumalan miehet puhuivat ja kirjoittivat Pyhän Hengen johtamina. Tässä sanassa Jumala on uskonut ihmiselle pelastumiseen välttämättömän tiedon. Pyhä Raamattu on erehtymätön ilmoitus Jumalan tahdosta. Se on luonteen mittapuu, kokemuksen koetinkivi, arvovaltainen opin ilmoittaja ja luotettava esitys Jumalan teoista historiassa.

The Clear Word Bible :
Useful translation, or denominational fudge?
Please note: This webpage is a section of Field Guide profile of the Seventh Day Adventist movement.
In 1994 the Review and Herald Publishing company, official publishing house of the Seventh Day Adventist denomination, brought out the first edition of what was titled The Clear Word Bible by Adventist author Jack J. Blanco. Blanco's goal was to provide a contemporary paraphrased Bible version which would express the ideas of the scriptures in particularly modern vernacular. The Bible quickly became popular in Adventist circles, sold in the denomination's Adventist Bible Center (ABC) bookstores. The Adventist Voice of Prophecy broadcast has used it a number of times on programs to "clarify" points that the speaker wished to make.
Although it is admitted by those in the denomination to not be a "scholarly" translation, and thus not recommended for in-depth Bible study, it is definitely touted as a useful Bible version for daily reading. Here are a few clips from the endorsements on the dust jacket of the first edition.
"This paraphrase has captured the essence of the biblical thoughts in fresh, contemporary English. Passages that have almost become cliches through familiarity leap from the page with new life, luster, clarity, and relevance." Richard M. Davidson, chair, Old Testament Department, Theological Seminary, Andrews University. [major SDA university]
"I use it often. I recommend it from the pulpit to every believer who hungers for a clearer understanding of God's Word." --Wesley M. Hall, pastor.
"In the past, when youth workers opened up the Bible with young people, we could expect to hear a confused 'Huh?' or 'Whazzat mean?' With The Clear Word Bible, we'll have to get used to hearing, 'Oh, I get it!'" --Randy Fishell, associate editor, Guide magazine.
