If we are to know God, it only makes sense that we must know his Word, the Bible. Sir Matthew Hale, Lord Chief Justice of England, once said, “The Bible is the only source of all Christian truth -the only rule for the Christian life -the only book that unfolds to us the realities of eternity.” In the Bible of 66 smaller books, we find God’s will and purpose for us, as well as what role we need to play, in order to receive the gift of life. God has chosen to convey an extremely important message to the human family, one that is a matter of life and death. He further notices that some translations claim to be Essentially Literal, while others claim to be Dynamic Equivalent (thought for thought), which has only served to increase his confusion. He is even further bewildered when he realizes that there are different formats within each translation: a reference Bible, a study Bible, a life application Bible, an archaeology Bible, or just the standard format. Immediately, he is met with shelves upon shelves of more than 150+ different English translation choices: NIV, TNIV, ESV, NASB, NRSV, CEV, CSB, NLT, and on and on. It is a daunting task for the new Bible student to walk into a store for the purpose of purchasing a Bible. We hope this blog and our books will be just right for you. In addition, our blog will be beneficial for those who struggle to understand when they read. This is not to say that it is for children as such, it is for both adults and young ones. In fact, our youth will be able to read most of our blog and understand it. The resulting effort we hope are books that are easy to read and understand, while also accurately communicating information about the Bible.
We wanted to publish books and create a blog that would communicate as clearly and powerfully as possible to all of today’s readers. However, it is our desire to take difficult and complex subjects and making them easy to understand. There have been technical publications on the market for decades.
Therefore, our goal is to be a help to all. The translation of God’s Word from the original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek is a task unlike any other and should never be taken lightly because it carries with it the heaviest responsibility: the translator renders God’s thoughts into a modern language. Our books and blog articles are a place for those who are sincerely interested in the importance of the translation process, as well as which translation(s) would be the most beneficial to use. The main purpose of our work is education.
