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?
