Welcome to Verity. I'm your host, Felicia Masonheimer, an author, speaker, and Bible teacher.

This podcast will help you embrace the history and depth of the Christian faith.

Ask questions, seek answers,

and devote yourself to becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ.

You don't have to settle for watered down Christian teaching.

And if you're ready to go deeper God is just as ready to

take you there. This is Verity where every woman is a theologian. Welcome back

translation reading several different ones will give you a well-rounded

perspective on the word of God and if you've been confused by that, today's

episode may bring you some clarity because we're going to talk about what goes into

translating a Bible and the methodology, the ideas, the principles that are at play in the pursuit of that.

We're also going to talk very shortly about the history of the English Bible. We're going to stop at the King James
