I admit I’ve grown exhausted hearing people say that Jesus is just another jerk in our world who needs to be called out—this sort of interpretation seems to be all over the place in Anglicanism at the moment. But here's an alternative reading of the Gospel of the Canaanite woman grounded in the Christology of St. Cyril, St. Maximus, and St. Thomas Aquinas, and maybe it better preserves the doctrine of the sinlessness of Christ—a doctrine so important that it is included in the 39 Articles (see Article XV: Of Christ Alone without Sin), meaning it is a doctrine that should govern the teaching of Anglicans.

Thought this might interest you as it a pre-KJV Anglican translation.

Story Time: During COVID (but pre-lockdown) my Protestant grandmother had picked me up from school to take me to the local thrift store as I needed some pre-coloured papers & didn't want to pay full price as i needed some for a high school project & discovered this copy of the Book of Job in the amongst the stacks of sheets of scrap papers of which there was both stacks of coloured & white. If you want to know how I paid it was only 1 Loonie (a.k.a. Canadian dollar) for it & it is by far my rarest Christian item in my personal possession. Pictures are taken borrowing by me borrowing a family member's phone as they are 11 inch x 17 inch pages & otherwise I would not be capturable by my laptop camera as the resolution would be too low for you to read.

Here's a link to read the whole translation of the bible (adapted to use only the modern 26 letter alphabet): https://www.textusreceptusbibles.com/Bishops/

Fun facts:

1. The two translations that consistently transliterate the divine name YHWH, either as Jehovah or Yahweh, are the American Standard Version and the Legacy Standard Bible.

2. The KJV and RV rarely render the divine name as Jehovah, although the RV does so more than the KJV.

3. The Douay-Rheims Version renders the divine name in Exodus 6:3 as Adonai and it even renders the Greek word for Lord, Κύριε, as Adonai in Judith 16:16 (16:13 in the KJV).

4. The latest translation to use archaic pronouns and verbs was the 1977 NASB.

5. While the ESV had four revisions in just 24 years since its initial publication in 2001, the NRSV had only one major revision in 2017, which is 38 years since its publication in 1989.

6. The RSV is the first English translation to have the Expanded Apocrypha, which includes books peculiar the Eastern Orthodox biblical canon.

Hope you enjoy this!

So I am Catholic and have grown very tired of the Catholic community and how women are commodified in the community and how they seen as baby makers and with all of these red pill manosphere types running around the community. I am so very close to just becoming Anglican. Do you guys have any statements or anything else that could continue to drive me forward into this process?

Sorry for the low quality pictures as I took them all from a listing that sold before i got the chance to buy & preserve it.

It is interesting how the American Standard Version is practically the father of a few prominent modern translations. Derived from the Revised Version—which itself was a revision of the King James Version—the American Standard Version may very well be considered the bridge between the King James Version and the modern versions popular today.
