What are the differences between Bible translations? How should one choose a translation? How do you know if a translation is accurate? Leland Ryken’s new book, Understanding the English Bible Translation: The Case for an Essentially Literal Approach hit the Crossway warehouse on the same day that Fox News and USA Today featured articles on Bible translations and revisions.
Taking into account the latest developments in Bible translation, Ryken clarifies the issues that underlie modern Bible translation and makes a strong case for an essentially literal approach.
Leland Ryken agreed to answer a few timely questions for us on the blog this week. Join us here tomorrow for his Q&A.
