    I was told by the literature servant in 2002 that I could not order a copy because it was out of print...he could have been mistaken...

    No this book was smaller and blue, was written by Van Amburgh in 1924 or 1925 supposedly for children. There is quite a section on 1925 and foolishness connect with it.

    Only maybe only Blondie will know this -

    but, wasn't there an earlier interlinear translation published by the society which was willed to them by the widow of the original author? I think he was a Christadelphian gentleman who just wanted his lifes work to be published and picked the WTS to do this.

    Wonder if old freddy plaigarised his efforts?

    Emphatic Diaglott--Benjamin WIlson (and I'm sure many know this) I don't think he was officially a Christadelphian but had connections. I'll check unless someone else posts.

    Benjamin Wilson, founder of the Abrahamic Faith, and John Thomas, founder of the Christadelphians, were Illinois neighbors who studied the Bible together. Thomas baptized Benjamin and his brother Joseph. Disagreement between Thomas and Wilson concerning the judgment seat and the resurrection sent their movements in different directions in the early 1860s.

    *** w50 9/15 p. 314 New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures ***
    In 1902 the Watch Tower Society came into possession of its first plates of a Scripture edition and could become a Bible-printing society. These were the plates of an emphasized translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures known as "The Emphatic Diaglott". This had first been published by its author, Benjamin Wilson, a newspaper editor of Geneva, Illinois, in 1864, and who was never associated with the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society.

    I was recently going over 2 Peter 2:4 with a JW and naturally I asked what the Greek meaning of Tartarus was...so we consulted the KIT I had which gave some additional info in the appendix. Anyway, the explanation seemed to be REALLY grasping at straws in explaining how tartarus had nothing to do with the way the word was understood by greeks...Pointing to the word's use in classical Greek literature (I think it was the Iliad) made it even worse. The guy didn't have much to say and moved on...

    There were two editions of this book, I don't know what the differences were between them apart from the cover changed from the handwriting style to somethin more legible.
