Why are there so many Bible translations? In Session 82 of Through Theology in a Year, we take a practical look at one of the most confusing subjects for many Christians: Bible translations. Why do we have so many? What are translators actually trying to accomplish? And how do you know which translation is best for study, reading, teaching, or devotion? In this short lesson, we walk through the three major questions every translation committee must answer whenever a new Bible translation is produced. From there, we explore the differences between formal equivalence, dynamic equivalence, and paraphrase translations, along with examples of each and the strengths and weaknesses they bring to the table. Topics include: • Why there are so many Bible translations • Formal equivalence (“word-for-word”) • Dynamic equivalence (“thought-for-thought”) • Paraphrase translations • Translation philosophy and methodology • Readability vs. precision • Why no translation is completely neutral • Which translations are best for different purposes Whether you are new to studying the Bible or have been reading Scripture for years, this episode will help you better understand what stands behind the English Bible in your hands.
