The Amplified Bible is *not* guilty of illegitimate totality transfer. I have been researching this topic for 2 years, collecting together various explanations and examples of this exegetical fallacy to see for myself if it is actually occuring in the Amplified Bible. I put together all the evidence for and against, comparing the AMP with other 'mainstream' versions such as the ESV, KJV, NASB, and the NIV. If you google "Context is for Kings: Is the Amplified Bible Guilty of Illegitimate Totality Transfer?" the PDF is the first search result.
Imagine my surprise to learn that the most-cited critic of the Amplified Bible was the lead New Testament scholar for Thomas
Nelson’s Expanded Bible, which according to its introduction (p. v) “allows the reader to see multiple possibilities for words, phrases,
and interpretations. Rather than opting for one choice, it shows many”(!). How is the Expanded Bible not guilty like the Amplified Bible, you ask? Well, I went straight to the horse's mouth and asked Mark Strauss to explain this self-contradiction (see pages 110-118). I asked him to provide an example where the EXB gets right what the AMP got wrong... See for yourself!

This is the Bible verse by verse thread. If you wish to open another thread to discuss the matter, I suggest you do so, but again the Amplified Bible is not welcome in this thread.
