Did we get lost in translation?

The Bible has been translated into hundreds of different languages across the world. Because of that, some passages that we read today may have lost their intended messages. This does not mean that our modern translations completely fall short of properly relaying God’s Word. However, learning the biblical languages does prove to be beneficial in exegeting the context, interpretation, and application of biblical passages.

The skill of proper exegesis is not limited to only pastors and theologians but should be practiced by every believer as well. Learning a new language may seem like a daunting feat. However, you do not need to be an expert in Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic to get the most out of your Bible study and teaching. You just need to have the interest and the respect for the biblical context, and the willingness to really immerse yourself in the Word of God.

In our upcoming workshop, “Does Language Really Matter?”, experienced pastors Dr. Wilbert Baker and Dr. Elliott Mallory-Greene will be discussing the benefits of using Bible Study Methods and studying the biblical languages when teaching the Word of God. Join us as we apply what we learn right away and exegete “The Dignity of the Image of God” in Genesis 1:26–28.
