Episode 101: History of Translation, Honey Travels & the King James Bible

In this episode, we continue with part two of our three-part series on the King James Bible. Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of the Living Faith Bible Institute, helps us to understand the history behind the King James Bible. In part two, we address whether or not God continued to protect his words even within the translation process, what the translation process was like, and why we can be confident that God has given us his very words today.

If you are interested in learning more about the history of the scriptures, consider enrolling in Manuscript Evidence this Spring.

Episode 101 notes laying out the English translation history.
