Rev  James returns asking questions as: The Bible: one original text? So why so many translations?. 

Different translations of the Bible and the moral, religious and political confusions of the real meaning behind them. A fun view.

The full Bible is translated into 743 languages, New Testamentonly translated into 1,611 languages. Total number of languages with some portion of the Bible = 3,658. There are 7,000+ languages – so the bible is available in just over half of all known languages.

Some of the best known are

• King James Version (KJV) – 1611

• New International Version (NIV) – 1978

• English Standard Version (ESV) – 2001

• New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) – 1989

• New Living Translation (NLT) – 1996

• The Message (MSG) – 2002

• Christian Standard Bible (CSB) – 2017

• Douay-Rheims Bible – 1582–1610 (Catholic)

• Revised Standard Version (RSV) – 1952

BUT … why do they sometimes contradict each others translations – James reveals all…

Arrive at 7:00pm, the talk will start at 7:45 with a Q & A and presentation.

All are welcome.
