In order to study the complexities of the Bible, one must first understand the basics!  In todays episode, Emie walks listeners through a high level, basic overview of several different versions, or translations, of the Bible.  ----------------------- NASB – New American Standard Bible Word for Word - Seeks to reproduce the original structure of the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek Texts ------ ESV – English Standard Version Literal (word for word) - Adheres to the structure of the original languages ------ KJV – King James Version Literal - A classic translation that some believe is the most accurate but uses archaic language ------ NKJV – New King James Version Updated literal - Modernizes the language of KJV while maintaining its literary style and structure ------ CSB – Christian Standard Bible Balanced - Uses clear common language while maintaining a degree of word-for-word accuracy ------ NIV – New International Version Balanced Word for word and thought for thought - Aims for both accuracy and readability in modern English ------ NLT – New Living Translation Thought for thought - Focuses on clarity, readability and simplifying complex terms for contemporary understanding ------ MSG – The Message Paraphrase - Text provided in a highly contemporary, non-literal style to contextualize it for a modern audience ------------- Subscribe so you don't miss an episode!   Reach out to Emie to discuss todays episode or to share episode suggestions.    Connect on Instagram - @nourished_by_the_book  https://www.instagram.com/nourished_by_the_book?igsh=MWU0djg3cGs1ajZ2cg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Email Emie at [email protected]  YouTube Link - https://youtube.com/@nourishedbythebook?si=GL1kjRQ6Hq86ZZ0e Please share the show with a friend!  XO Emie -------------- Disclaimer - On this podcast, Emie shares her opinions and thoughts.
