Parker's Efforts to Restore God's Name - Conclusion

 Parker spent thousands of pounds -a fortune back then-on publishing and advertising his tracts, papers, and other writings.  In fact, in just one year he spent 800 pounds which is equivalent to over $100,000 British pounds (132,000 U.S.) today. He also sent complimentary copies of many of his publications to acquaintances and high-ranking clergy for their review.

Parker's writings and his translations of the New Testament, which had very limited printing were ridiculed by some scholars. In doing so, however, they drew attention away from the sincere effort he, as well as Shadwell and others, had made to restore God's personal name to the English New Testament.

The translators of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures also have deep respect for God's name. If you would like to learn more about why the divine name should be included in the entire Bible, read Appendixes A4, A5, and C1 in the New World Translations of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition).
