On the subject of Bible translations, another podcast I listen to, Oh No Ross and Carry, their whole thing is they join fringe religions, conspiracy theorist groups, and exteremist/non-mainstream groups of several different persuasions and just kind of talk about what its like to be in these groups from the inside (10/10 would recommend btw) One of their investigations was this kind of cult-like church following a pastor, Melissa Scott. Her whole thing was she loved to talk about how she has taught herself ancient Greek and does all of this textual exegesis on how x, y, and z is wrong in the KJV (which the church hands out to its members), and if you really dive into the actual Greek it says something significantly different. But one of the hosts brought their own copy of the NIV bible, and it kinda just looked like she was cribbing notes from these other translations and passing it off as her original work.

Great explanation about translators! I used the New Revised Standard Version and the Cambridge Companion to the Bible for my degree in Comparative Religion at an extremely liberal arts school (Bard College). Also my advisor spoke Aramaic and Greek so he would correctly translate things. I remember one instance where the NIV used the word “women” when the original said “cow.”

Stellar editing! Former Catholic here, and contrary to popular belief, Catholics do read the bible. Or at least the ones who went to Catholic schools run by Sisters of St. Joseph in So Cal in the 70s did. Pretty sure the New American Bible was one of the ones we had at home. My folks had a huge bible where they also recorded births, first communions, confirmations, etc. In junior high or high school, I had a hippy-peace-love version (again, the 70s), tho’ that may have just been the new testament, in modern language. I don’t think I saw a King James version until my brief tenure with the LDS church 😂 Looking forward to more of this content, Grant, thank you!

Such a great explanation of the ESV, which was my church’s Bible of choice. Sometime I’ll post a photo of my ESV Bible collection- I think had at least 3 different types of study bibles.
