Bible Translations for Everyone is a fun and engaging guide in which pastor, professor, and popular YouTuber Tim Wildsmith will help you navigate the complex world of Bible translations.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many translations of the Bible? It can be overwhelming and challenging to make sense of the differences, similarities, strengths, and weakness of each. With over 400 English translations to choose from, how do you know one is right for you? This book is here to help. Chapter by chapter, it tells the story of many different versions of the Bible, including information about their historical context, the people who translated them, and what makes them unique.

Bible Translations for Everyone contains:

  • An introduction to how Bible translations work.
  • The fascinating history of early English Bibles like Tyndale and Wycliffe.
  • The textual basis, translation philosophy, strengths, and weaknesses of each popular English translation, including The New King James Version, The New International Version, The English Standard Version, and more.
  • Translation comparisons.
  • Timelines and charts.

 

After reading this book, you will understand the essentials of each translation and be able to make an informed decision about which ones are right for you.

"A friendly guide and gifted storyteller, Tim tells us everything we didn't know we wanted to know about how the Bibles on our shelves came to be, mapping out the history of English Bible translation and distilling years of research into one fascinating, delightful volume." —Amanda Bible Williams, co-founder of She Reads Truth

    Tim Wildsmith delivers what he promises - a great overview and background of the various English translations of scripture. Others may dig deeper and provide greater technical information but for all but the most academic among us, this is a great resource, and I'm glad I made the purchase and endorse this one wholeheartedly. If you haven't seen his YouTube videos, you're missing out.
