I started a book promotion website that also has a blog about books, reading, authors, etc. I do accept guest posts if they are literature-related, with a live link to your blog. Here's my site: https://en.books4.you/blog/
I would appreciate a link back, too :)
Hi all! I'm translating into English a book about the Second Coming, and there's a chapter about the judgement God will bring upon Babylon. I need to settle on the term, seeing as they are quite different depending on the Bible translation used.
For this edition I'm using World English Bible, Updated (WEB) because it's royalty-free and the book has extensive Bible passages. WEB uses "Babylon, Mother of Prostitutes" language, but IMHO it's not used as commonly as other variations. I'm also considering a KJV version of the book, but need to get the WEB done first.
"Whore of Babylon" or "Babylon the Great Harlot" or "Babylon, Mother of Prostitutes"
What is your preferred terminology when discussing this topic? Also, what do you think is the most commonly used term? IOW, which one should I use for the book?
Thanks for your recommendations!
