Why does Bible translation matter?
In this podcast, David Hamilton walks us through the history of Bible translation and the deeper reason behind it: the story of a God who comes to us.
At the heart of the Christian faith is the belief that God stepped into our world—speaking our language, taking on flesh, and meeting humanity where we are.
From the incarnation of Christ to the translation of Scripture into everyday language, this same movement continues: God drawing near so people can know Him, not from a distance, but personally.
Today, there are well over 8,000 languages spoken across the earth. Each one represents a people group, a culture, and a way of understanding the world—and each one deserves access to God’s Word in a language that speaks to the heart.
This conversation explores why “close enough” translations fall short, and why faithful Bible translation takes time, care, and deep commitment.
Whether you’re interested in church history, theology, or global Bible translation, this episode offers context for why “close enough” translations aren’t enough—and why the work takes time, care, and deep faithfulness.
