We are stoked about this video course with @institute_ftc and @MBTS ! Go check it out!
In 1536, William Tyndale was executed for translating the Bible into English. His final recorded prayer? “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.” Tyndale gave his life so Christians could read God’s Word. But how did we get the Bible, and why can we trust it today? In this free course from the For the Church Institute (@institute_ftc), Drs. @drjohnmeade and @pjgurry trace the history of Scripture and help Christians grow in confidence in God's Word. Start today:

Did you know that revising Bible translations is not a modern practice? Long before modern translations like the ESV, NIV, and NASB, ancient Jewish communities were revising earlier Greek translations of the Scriptures, seeking greater accuracy and clarity as their understanding of the Hebrew text developed. In this article from the @TextandCanon Institute, @drjohnmeade reflects on the legacy of these early revisions and what they can teach us about the history of Bible translation, and even why we continue to revise translations today. textandcanon.org/the-legacy-…

Last week marked 490 years since the death of William Tyndale. Tyndale’s story is a reminder that access to Scripture in our own language is something we can easily take for granted. His work translating the Bible into English came at great cost—and his influence can still be seen in the English Bibles we read today. Want to learn more about his life, his work, and his legacy? Take a few minutes to read this article by Dr. @pjgurry at the @TextandCanon Institute. textandcanon.org/the-life-an…
