Q: Hi Dr. Easley! I just don’t know which Bible translations to trust.

I know reading your Bible is a vital part of having a relationship with God, but I don’t know if the version I have been reading is the most accurate, and I worry that I’ve been taking verses out of context my whole life.

Takeaways
  • Translations vary, but the core message remains intact.
  • Understanding vocabulary is crucial for accurate interpretation.
  • Bible study methodology is essential for deeper understanding.
  • Language issues arise from the complexity of translations.
  • Different translations serve different audiences and purposes.
  • Context is key to understanding the meaning of scripture.
  • Engaging with scripture is a lifelong journey of learning.
  • Theological understanding requires more than just vocabulary definitions.
