Last week, I read somewhere on the web (I've forgotten where) the Calvin scholar T. H. L. Parker's opinion of the two best-known translations of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion - the ones by Beveridge and Battles.
Parker's opinion of the translations:
Beveridge - an accurate translation, but in stodgy English
Battles - an inaccurate translation, but in flowing, readable English
I thought that was interesting, somehow.
