Translating THE BIBLE: its message for your life

MARY TRAMMELL

In March, spirituality.com featured MARY TRAMMELL in a live chat titled "Translating the Bible: its message for your life." Dr. Trammell wrote her master's thesis and doctoral dissertation on the King James Version of the Bible. She also coauthored the book, The Reforming Power of the Scriptures: A Biography of the English Bible (Boston: The Christian Science Publishing Society, 1996) with William G. Dawley, Editor of the Sentinel. A teacher and practitioner of Christian Science, she's also a member of The Christian Science Board of Directors of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Editor in Chief of the Sentinel, The Christian Science Journal, and The Christian Science Monitor.

What follows are excerpts from the chat. To hear the replay or read a transcript, go to www.spirituality.com/chats/translatingbible.

Do you think it's better to spend more time studying just one Bible translation, or to move between different translations?
