How to Translate the Old Testament (Jack Collins)

This month, we’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of the English Standard Version—first published by Crossway in 2001. To help mark this milestone, this month we're releasing a number of fascinating interviews focused on the ESV and Bible translation. Today's episode is a conversation with ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Dr. Jack Collins on translating the Old Testament, why all Bible translation entails trade-offs, what it means to read (and translate) the Bible literally, and a whole lot more. To learn more about the English Standard Version, we invite you to visit ESV.org/translation. If you enjoyed this episode be sure to leave us a review, which helps us spread the word about the show!
