Franz Delitzsch: The German With a Love for the Jews

TBS Hebrew New Testament was published in 2025. This is a revision of the Delitzsch Hebrew New Testament (known as DHNT), aimed at making it more faithful to the Greek Received Text, and in a more understandable form of Hebrew which can be readily understood by modern Hebrew speakers today. While the Jews and Hebrew speakers have the Old Testament in Hebrew, the New Testament was written in Greek, meaning that it had to be translated into Hebrew for them to read it in their own tongue. The first edition of the Delitzsch New Testament was published in the 1870s by the British and Foreign Bible Society, and later the Trinitarian Bible Society published an edition for many years. But who was Delitzsch? And why was his work so important for the Jews?
