Henry E. Neufeld writes about Bible translations from his knowledge as a student of Biblical languages, and his experience teaching them to laypeople and discussing them on the internet. Many people have questions about translations because they do not understand how translations are produced. Much of the material available is either polarizing, or is provided to advocate a particular version.

What's in a Version? strives to provide a basis for lay students to understand how translations are made so they can understand the arguments and become confident of the Bible version they choose to use for reading and study.

Neufeld, Henry E

Henry Neufeld has BA and MA degrees in Biblical Languages. He writes from a deep desire to make the Bible more accessible to the laity. He is also the author of Identifying Your Gifts and Service, co-author of When 3 to 8 Gather, and editor of the Participatory Study Series pamphlets.
