How to Choose a Translation for All Its Worth: A Guide to Understanding and Using Bible Versions Audiobook

" Every Christian should read this book. Very helpful and makes me praise God for translators who get the Bible into the language of the people. "

" An extremely helpful book. A great primer on Bible Translation. Convinced me to switching over to mostly using mediating versions of the Bible. It's a super easy read so I have no hesitation for recommending it to people. You'll want to buy this! "

" So informative and well written. Great insight that every translation requires some interpretation -- even the ones that claim to be 'literal.' We need different translations for different reasons. Read this book to find out which for what. :) "

" Very decent little guide, its a little dated since translations are coming out relatively quickly now but it does a very good job explaining the underlying translations philosophies and provides principles that allow you to analyze new translations as they come out. "

" The title is so dull, I never would have read this book if it had not been given to me! As it turns out, it's a fascinating book on the challenges of creating an accurate, readable translation (of any book!) from the original language. I highly recommend it. "

" Heavily against the majority text but still a great book. "

" Good overview and introduction to different translations and the theories behind them. Although Fee and Strauss obviously have their own agenda (dynamic equivalence), it did not become a soap-box. "

" A quick read that can be extremely helpful for new Christians or those who need to understand Bible translations better. The book is ordered neatly and simple to read. "
