{"product_id":"book-15-bible-translations-hc-9781300340164","title":"Book 15 Bible Translations HC","description":"What is the best Bible? Because of the myriad of Bible translations, Christians have wondered. Against much popular opinion, we defend the following: - Dynamic \"thought-for-thought\" translations (NIV, NLT) are superior to more literal \"word-for-word\" translations (NASB, ESV). - More \"literal\" Bible translations often fail in a critical part of accurate translation: producing good contemporary English. - The criticisms of even great men like John Piper, John MacArthur, and J. I. Packer against dynamic Bible translations are either exaggerations, errors, and\/or even slanderous against the word of God. - When a Scripture writer is addressing all Christians, it is a good thing to translate the meaning as \"brothers and sisters\" instead of just \"brothers.\" - The updated NIV is the overall best translation, the NLT a very good one, and the ESV an unnecessary one. We also provide a chapter offering some suggestions and commentary regarding the best tools for studying and interpreting Scripture.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50392112103698,"sku":"9781300340164","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_82aba9fd-753c-436b-9827-7c3f82893d0c.jpg?v=1728969624","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/book-15-bible-translations-hc-9781300340164","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
