The Truth About Bible Translations

This week, we're talking all about Bible translations. If you're like me (Ryan), you’ve read several different translations throughout your life. They all say things a little bit differently, which sometimes can be confusing. Brian tells us about the two different styles of translations and the strengths and weaknesses of both. We also talk about how comparing different translations can give us some hints about what's going on with the Greek and how that can be helpful as we read and study.

Ryan Sarver

Ryan was a student of Brian’s at Lincoln Christian College almost twenty years ago — not a good student, but a student nonetheless. He graduated with a degree in worship ministry and worked in the local church for several years. Now, Ryan owns and operates a video production and marketing company, telling stories for non-profits and businesses.

Ryan loves reading books on theology and engaging in conversations. He and his wife, Lauren, share two children and live in the Indianapolis area. One of his claims-to-fame is making the best popcorn ever — just ask his kids.

Ryan’s favorite movie is The Tree of Life. He enjoys all kinds of ethnic foods, as well as pour-over coffee — keep your K-cups to yourself 🙂
