Original Works

One of the advantages the Jews had was that the Scriptures were given in their own language. They had no need to translate God's directives and encouragement into another language in which the nuances of meaning could be somewhat ambiguous at times. However, they often neglected the benefits they were given. Do we treat the Scriptures as lightly and as neglectfully as they often did? Do we wait for someone else to tell us what to think, or do we search the Scriptures daily as the Bereans did?

Questions & Doubts

The many English translations of the Bible available today have often been at the center of controversy, questions and doubt. Since the Bible is the precious Word of God--indeed, the very "breath" of God (2 Tim. 3:16)--believers would do well to at least be aware of the issues behind the translation of the English Bible. What about the authenticity of the Bible? Is there a translation we can read with full confidence?
