            • Understanding Bible Translations

              The Bible wasn't originally written in English, and so the versions that we read are translations from the original languages. But how did we get them, and how do we know which one to pick? Why do some churches still use the old King James, and why do others preach from the Message? Is that good or bad? Join Scott and Jo as they discuss the process and difficulties of translating literature from one language to another, and how much more difficult it is with the Word of God! They also take a look at some of the more well known Bible versions and translations, discussing what they should bring in our faith journey.: the NIV, ESV, NJKV, Message & Passion versions.
