Discuss the following matters related to Bible translations

Part 1: Provide the following information about the Bible you read most regularly (NOTE: This concerns the translation itself, not if it is a study Bible):

a. Personal Information: Identify the translation you read most often. How did you learn about it? Why do you prefer it over other translations?

b. Technical information (this will require a little research, some of which can be found on the copyright/publication page and the preface to your Bible, others you will need to research):

• When was it first published? What is the most recent update (if applicable, see copyright/publication page for that as well)?
• What is the terminology used to describe the translation philosophy?
• Identify one positive thing that has been said about it.
• Identify one negative thing said about it.
• Go to biblegateway.com to locate a list of English translations and from that list identify 3 other English translations that you have never heard of but you might be interested in reading.

Part 2: Interact with others (This must be a substantive interaction; you can’t say “I read that too”): Some possible response points (there could be others)

If you read the same translation as someone else . . . give another reason you like/prefer it.

If someone reads a translation you used to or you tried and did not like/care for, indicate why.
