Why Bible translations matter



What's your favorite Bible translation? Does it really matter which one you choose?

Sometimes it does. In fact, the translation—or mistranslation—of a single word of the Bible can make a big difference. It may even skew your view of God in a critical area, such as restoration.

This week's Bible passage: Job 42:10-17

This episode originally appeared as Weekly Strength 3.09: Big Topics — Restoration on Throwing Mountains.
