Contributing Scholars
Here's an alphabetical list of the biblical scholars who
contributed to crafting the base translation of the
Holy Bible: International Standard Version
from the original languages in which the individual books of the Bible were
composed.
 Dr.
Archer (1916-2004) was one of the fifty original translators of the
NASB published in 1971. He
also worked on the team which translated the
NIV Bible published in 1978. His
defense of the doctrine of
Biblical inerrancy by proposing harmonizations and
exegesis regarding alleged contradictions in the Bible made Archer
a well known biblical inerrantist. Dr. Archer believed “One cannot
allow for error in history-science without also ending up with error
in doctrine.” He was critical of the
documentary hypothesis which denies the
Mosaic authorship of the
Pentateuch. One of Dr. Archer's last contributions to the Christian
community before going home to be with the Lord was his rendering of
the base translation of chapters 1-3 of the book of Daniel
for the ISV. |
