一大堆希臘文學者評論《新世界》
The New World Translation
What the Scholars Really Said
出處﹕http://www.forananswer.org/Top_JW/Scholars%20and%20NWT.htm
The Watchtower and Jehovah's Witness apologists have often cited scholars in support of the New World Translation in general, 守望台常引用學者支持他們的《新世界》and particularly its rendering of John 1:1c ("and the Word was a god"). 尤其是約翰福音1﹕1神的問題, Scholarly citation is a form of an "argument from authority." 引用學者是「以權威為論點」Such an argument cannot establish the truth or falsity of a given assertion; 這樣的爭論不能證明對或錯,it can merely lend credence or cast doubt.只能增加信用或叫人懷疑, Sound arguments from authority will consist of an accurate quotation from the scholar in question, which entails insuring that the context of the authority's statements 良好的引用,需要有該學者的準確語錄,知道學者的話的上下文are consistent with the argument being presented, and that contrary statements in the same passage are not removed with creative use of ellipses ("..."). Further, the scholar must be a recognized authority in a field that pertains directly to the assertion being made.再者,該學者應該是被公認為權威的。
When Jehovah's Witnesses produce scholars that support the NWT, we must first establish that the scholar is, 我們需要先知道這些人真的是聖經語言的學者indeed, a recognized expert in the field of Biblical Languages, and that he or she has been quoted accurately. When given careful consideration, many of the scholars used by Jehovah's Witnesses do not actually constitute a sound argument from authority. 小心看下,我們發現,耶和華見證人引的,不足以為良好的「以權威為論點」。 I'm not suggesting that no scholars may be found in support of the NWT or its translation of John 1:1,不是說,沒有學者會支持《新世界》 but these are in the minority and often are not as qualified in their field as the scores of scholars who advocate the traditional translation.但是這樣的人,是少數,而且通常不被認為有資格的。
In the chart, below, we will examine how some scholars have been used in defense of the NWT and whether they actually support the Watchtower translation as claimed. 在下表列中,我列舉學者,指出他是不是實在的支持《新世界》 It is not my intent to be exhaustive; however I've tried to cover the scholars most often cited; 我盡量找學者,I think you'll find that any omissions will be obscure scholars that are not generally recognized as authoritative in the scholarly community. If you know of a prominent scholar that I've missed, please let me know so that I may include him/her in a future revision of this article.如果你知道有顯著的學者,而我漏了,請通知我。

===========================================================
這個網路站搜集很多希臘文學者對《新世界》的評論,而且,在努力繼續搜集。
在這個表之後,網主搜集了每一個學者的一段話。
總論一下上邊引言的意思——作者說,守望台所引為「專家權威」來支持自己,首先,這不是最好的證據,其次,我們要考慮:(1)守望台是否不管上下文地誤引學者的話,(我已經另有幾個貼指出);(2)這人是否有資格算為專家。
作者還忘記了一件事——假若有真有資格的希臘文學者支持《新世界》,我們也必須問,這學者是否一個耶和華見證人?是否她的同情者,因為如果守望台的《新世界》中的錯誤是受她的教義影響,專家們的話也有這樣的可能性。
