New World Translation - John 1:1c - "and the Word was a god."
Regarding Jehovah's Witnesses' "New World Translation" Bible and its
rendering of John 1:1, it may interest you to know that, in support and
explanation of their wording of this verse (especially within the third
clause with "a god"), there is soon to be published a 19+ year study (as of
6/2011), a thoroughly researched reference work - an historical analysis &
exhaustive annotated bibliography - it will be entitled, "What About John
1:1?"
To learn more of its design and expected release date, you are invited to

When finally published, apart from discussing many of the other topics and
scriptures often related to the man-made Trinity doctrine, you will also
discover that we have collected information on about 430+ scholarly
reference works (mostly Trinitarian) which, throughout the centuries, had
opted to say something other than, "and the Word was God," and that,
included among them are over 120 which had chosen to use "a god" within the
third clause of their renderings.
As you might expect, we are very excited at the opportunity to share our
findings with others.
Agape, JohnOneOne.
