63: What Bible Translation Do Anabaptists Trust?

About this episode

Shawn and James discuss the findings of a Bible translations survey sent to Anabaptists, revealing differences between personal beliefs and church practices regarding translations.

Shawn and James look over the Bible translations survey they sent out over a year ago. They look at what translations people use personally, what people’s “official” church translation is, and how open churches are to changing to a translation other than the KJV. The findings are interesting, though not completely surprising. People's personal beliefs and use of different Bible translations differ quite a bit from how they perceive others' beliefs or their church's willingness to switch from the KJV.
