Kenneth Wuest

Kenneth Samuel Wuest (1893 – 1962) was a noted Christian New Testament Greek (Κοινή) scholar of the mid-Twentieth century. He is sometimes referred to as Dr. Kenneth Wuest, though it is unclear (at this writing) if this title refers to an earned Ph.D.

Wuest was a professor of New Testament Greek at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, and published over a dozen books on the New Testament. Wuest is often cited as an influential Evangelical and Dispensationalist scholar.

Wuest is credited as one of the translators of the original New American Standard Bible (NASB). He later went on to produce his own English translation of the New Testament (the Wuest Expanded Translation – abbreviated WET) based on Nestle's critical text. In his translation of the New Testament, Wuest attempts to make the original Greek more accessible to the lay reader by drawing out (in translation) the full variety of possible meanings and translations of the underlying Greek words.
