Understanding the Origins and Development of the Bible

The Bible, a collection of sacred texts, evolved over centuries. Key milestones include the Hebrew Old Testament's compilation from 1450 BC to 400 BC, followed by the Septuagint (3 BC–2 BC), Latin Vulgate (383 AD), and various English translations like the Wycliffe Bible (1382) and King James Version (1611). Different translation theories, including Formal and Dynamic Equivalence, guide readers in choosing the right version for study, teaching, or devotional reading. Ultimately, Scripture is divinely inspired and serves as a tool for teaching and growth in faith.
