A Brief Guide to Bible Translations

Did you know that there are about 900 English translations of the Bible? Granted, some of these translations are simply revisions of older ones and some translations are only one book or a group of books.[1] But that’s still a lot of translations of God’s Word!

Bible Crash Course

This mission is actually in the tagline of my website – “Encouraging Women to Love God’s Word.”

Growing up in church and in Christian school, I had the privilege of learning a great deal about the Bible, and this privilege is something I am deeply grateful for.

Not every Christian today is well-versed in theology and knows what big, theological terms, like “inerrancy” and “metanarrative,” mean. On this blog, I talk and teach a lot about the Bible, yet I know that many of you may not even be aware of the basics of Bibliology (the study of the Bible). So, this post will be like a crash course of sorts and teach you the basic things you need to know about the Bible.
