Is one version superior to others? Do we really need more than one translation? How can answering these questions help us become better Bible readers? Dave Brunn has been involved in Bible translation work around the world for many years. From the perspective of this on-the-ground experience in different cultures he helps us sort out the many competing claims for various English Bible translations. By giving us a better understanding of the process of translation, Brunn helps us read and understand Scripture more clearly. He demonstrates how the variety of translations enables us to grasp more fully the meaning of the biblical text. This clear, readable and informative work will be of special interest to pastors, undergraduate and seminary students, missionaries, Bible translators, Bible study leaders and anyone involved in Christian ministry.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>An illuminating book!</p>--Eric Leese, The Reader, Summer 2014<br><br><p>Brunn's book . . . should be carefully studied by anyone about to judge a translation of the Bible.</p>--Rev.
