Bible translations: old & new

Roy Gessford, E. Ann Wild, Eduardo Torfer

Many thanks to all of you who have written to us about your favorite Bible translations. We’ve heard from people around the globe about how they’re exploring the Bible in its many older and newer translations and what they’ve found that is useful, healing, inspiring. 

In the coming months, we’ll be sharing those contributions like the ones below—and we’d love to hear from more readers with thoughtful comments and experiences to share.

“What is your favorite Bible translation?” I recall when that question was asked of a Bible scholar at a conference I was attending. “That’s easy,” she said. “Study it in its original languages.”
