Dr. Brian Simmons, lead translator for The Passion Translation of the Bible joins me this week for an insightful interview and discussion.
In this episode we cover:
- How he handles peoples' criticism that he's a "lone ranger" translating the Bible; and how he learns to listen to critics in case God is speaking to him through them
- Epiphanies he had while discovering the appropriate words in the text while translating the Bible into a tribal dialect as a missionary
- How his translation work has helped him see a few popular Bible passages we've been misunderstanding in English
- We also discuss our mutual favorite book of the book, Song of Songs
- I also ask Brian if Jesus spoke in tongues (a question I've been asked since releasing my book on Lies People Believe About Speaking in Tongues.
- The importance of translating meanings not just words
- And much more...
