Episode 346: Why Are There So Many Bible Translations?

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the vast amount of Bibles to choose from, whether at a bookstore or on a Bible app? Why are there so many translations? Is one better than the others? Which one is right for me? These questions can be difficult to navigate, so today host Jason Wieland is joined by Tom Holladay, former Saddleback Church Teaching Pastor, to talk about all things related to Bible translations. The conversation talks about the pertinent questions to ask when choosing a Bible, how translations are made, the difference between translations, and where the King James Version fits into all of this.
