Reboot 2: Why Trust The English Bible?

Ever wonder how an ancient collection of texts ended up as the English Bible you hold today—and why you can trust it? In this episode of 15 Minutes of Faith: Reboot, we take a deep dive into the epic journey of Bible translation. We explore the rigorous process behind turning Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts into English, discussing key translation methods like formal equivalency (as exemplified by the King James Version) versus dynamic equivalency (illustrated by the New Living Translation). We cut through the noise of “just trust the translators” by unpacking the academic rigor and enduring legacy behind the effort to get the Bible into the English language. Learn how centuries of meticulous scholarship, countless manuscript comparisons, and thoughtful translation choices have produced a Bible that remains as reliable and relevant today as it was in its earliest days. Tune in for a conversation that connects you with the historical, cultural, and scholarly foundations of our Bible—and discover why its message continues to stand the test of time.
