Last night was the second last part of the 7 week study – Where did the Bible Come From?<\/i>  The topic: translations.  As you may guess, this was a bit of an adventurous topic for me to teach – that’s right, me with my poor Spanish teaching a bunch of Mexicans about Spanish translations! \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n
\"The<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

But of course it was really more about giving them the tools<\/i> to find good versions to use, and not about me giving them all the answers.<\/p>\n

As you’ll see in the video below, I set up a bit of a Bible translation museum<\/b>, with 17 different Spanish translations throughout history, starting in 1432 AD.  Most of them had the name, a date, the front page or cover, and a sample text.  I ended up using the first part of Psalm 18 as the sample for most of them (there were a couple where I couldn’t find that specific text in time for the study).  Of course, there were many many versions I left out!<\/p>\n

So, of course there were some of the earliest translations, the first printed Spanish Bible, (actually, Old Testament only in that case, as I recall), the first Mexican translation (the Vence Bible, in 25 volumes!), the first official Roman Catholic Version, and many popular versions of today.<\/p>\n

So everyone got to wander around and read and compare various versions.  Then we talked about differences between versions, manuscripts, the Textus Receptus<\/i>, thoughts about the pros and cons of various versions, things like that.<\/p>\n

I was able to come up with a nifty list of Spanish translations available free online.  I’m actually going to hand it out next week, because I didn’t have a chance to print it for this week.  But I’ll try to post it here for those who are interested.<\/p>\n

Next week is the last week of the study!<\/b>  I hope we can pull everything together in a very practical way – talk a bit about what exactly we mean when we say that the Bible is the Word of God<\/i>, have some fun, and, one way or another, make food a part of the evening. \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n
