The method of translation used in translating the Bible makes a huge difference in the end result.

We have lots of Bible translations: KJV, NKJV, ESV, NIV, HCSV, NLT, NASB, TLB, etc. Which one should I use?

To answer this question, we need to know something about how we got so many versions. There are two primary answers:
1. Underlying biblical texts
2. Methods of translation

In this video, we will consider the methods of translation.
1. Formal Equivalence
2. Dynamic Equivalence
3. Free translation (paraphrase)
