Resources On Bible Translations

For centuries the Bible was largely unavailable to most Christians either because it was not translated into their language or because most people could not read or both. Today, in the West, we not only have a relatively high degree of literacy but we have a plethora of Bible translations, especially in the English language. For some, however, the number of translations is troubling because it raises questions about accuracy. They look back to a time when there were relatively few English translations and more agreement about them. That nostalgia, however, may not reflect the truth of the matter. Before the Authorized Version became dominant there were several other competing translations and the AV itself was intended to supplant another translation, the Geneva Bible. In that way, then, our current situation is not fundamentally different than the situation that existed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Below is a library of articles, quotations, and podcasts discussing questions related to Bible translation.
