CHOOSING YOUR BIBLE: Bible Translation Differences

We do not need to be a Bible scholar to understand these issues, as well as the importance having the most accurate and faithful translation that is reflective of the original text. The meaning of a word is the responsibility of the interpreter (i.e., reader), not the translator. The primary purpose of a translator is to give the Bible readers what God said by way of his human authors, not what a translator thinks God meant in its place. Andrews confronts this issue and makes the subject very easy to understand in this short, logical, and straightforward book, which gives the churchgoer a valuable tool for selecting their Bible translation.
