This posting is a promotion of another book on Bible translations. The Christian faith is not only Christ-centered, but also Bible-centered. Well-taught Christians know that the Bible is from God, though it was mediated to us through human authors, whom God infallibly guided as they wrote the Bible.
The Bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Very few of us know those languages, and therefore we must read translations made from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek into our our own languages.
Those of us who read English have many English Bible translations from which to choose. We need help in this matter. David Dewey's book, "A User's Guide To Bible Translations," was written to provide the help we need. Every book has its weaknesses, but Dewey's book is informative, interesting, and easy to read. If you buy it and read it, you will benefit from it.
What follows is a link to one source for the book. It will let you look at the table of contents, and read some of it. Doing so will help you to decide if you should get this book.
