Hello there and welcome to the Thank You Fellows Podcast. My name is Caleb and today I'm joined by my father, Dr. Scott Keith and by Dr. Rod Rosenblot. We have been walking through Luther's Small Catechism for the last month or so. And we are continuing to do that today. This time we will be in the section on confession.

Last week we did baptism. In the weeks before that, we did the creed. If you're just jumping in for

had to do with, we got a listener question asking us, which version of the Bible do the

thinking fellows suggest, or which translation did the thinking fellows suggest?

And, you know, at the end of the day, whatever easily accessible translation you find

easy to read, most English translations today are perfectly good.

They've put in work and they try to be honest about not really manipulating the translations towards any particular

agendas. I would say most of them seem pretty good at that. And as long as you find one that's

easy to read or maybe that people around you are using, if you attend a church that does their
