Hmmm . . . Which Translation of the Bible Should I Use?

Choices. They are something that not only do we Americans encounter daily, we actually have come to see choices as something we expect to have. Want to go out for dinner? Hmm....do I feel like Italian, Chinese, or a big juicy steak? Do I want to get in and out (think fast food), or do I want to linger over the meal and just relax? Do I want to eat menu or smorgasbord? So we must first choose WHERE we will dine out. Once arriving at our place of choice, we must then choose WHAT we will eat. Just in this one experience, we will make countless choices without even blinking an eye (well almost!).

So it should not be surprising that here in America there are multiple options for Bibles. For many, this causes some concern. If we are reading a Bible and desire to hear from God, we want to be sure that the Bible version we select is one that is accurate. So . . . how do we choose?

Below are several links to help give you some guidance in the process. The bottom line is that there are many very solid translations available to choose from. You may already have settled on a version of choice (King James, New King James, New International Version, The English Standard Version, etc.). But if you have not OR if you would like to find out a bit more about your version of choice, please take a moment to explore these links.
