Making Sense of Bible Translations - Part 2
Should Bible translations use gender-inclusive language? Are paraphrases like The Message dangerous—or can they be helpful? And are so-called “literal” translations really more faithful to God’s Word? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver continues his conversation with Dr. Mark Strauss—New Testament scholar, Bible translation expert, and author of 40 Questions About Bible Translation (Kregel Academic). Together, they dive into the most debated issues in Bible translation, including:
✅ The controversy over gender-inclusive (or gender-accurate) language in translations like the NIV ✅ The difference between translations, paraphrases, and “transculturations” ✅ Whether “literal” translations are more faithful to Scripture ✅ Challenges faced by translation committees and denominational influences ✅ How pastors and teachers should guide their congregations in using different versions
If you missed Part 1 of this two-part series, we recommend watching that episode first for the foundation of this discussion.
