5-Transmission to Translation,pt2 (Translation Pandemonium)

Spurgeon so passionately plead, "Beyond all other Christians we are concerned in this, seeing we have no other sacred book; we have no prayer book or binding creed, or authoritative minutes of conferences; we have nothing but the Bible; and we would have that as pure as ever we can get it. By the best and most honest scholarship that can be found we desire that the common version may be purged of every blunder of transcribers, or addition of human ignorance, or human knowledge, that so the Word of God may come to us as it came from His own hand." So how pure is your English translation in comparison to the original inspired autographs of Scripture? Are some versions better than others? And if so, how do we choose? These and other questions we'd like to answer in this week's midweek study of "From Transmission to Translation, pt2" as we address the "Translation Pandemonium: Where's the Balance?"
