Love the way, the LORD let the whole world to know him before the ending.

Love you Amen

My tip - each time you read the bible, read it in a new translation. You will get new information each time. If something strikes you as odd or interesting, then compare those verses with other translations online or with a multi-language study bible.

So cool. “Most translated literary work in human history”

Even before watching, I want to say Thank You, Bible Project, for your effort and input.

Amazing vid! A fuller explanation of this subject would be very interesting.

" Most translated literary work in human history"
So, that would also mean it is the most read literary work in human history.😉 Praise God!😇

And the Bible is the best selling book of all time, with an approximation of five billion copies sold around the world.

Your content is gorgeously animated, as always. I wish I could see a video about the apocrypha/deuterocanonical books very well animated and brilliantly produced by you guys.

Keep on with the good work!

I use multiple translations in both Dutch and English. It’s great for getting an insight into the true meaning of the source text.
Multiple translations into various Sign Languages are also in the works! No language left behind!

Proud, Bible-believing Catholic here.
I love all you guys' videos -- always keep it up. God bless to all in Christ!

Growing up as an agnostic, I've finally decided to read the Bible for the first time, for literary purposes. I honestly can't wait.

[isaacdodooallotey]

I really needed this. Thank you very much. God 🙏 Bless you! More Grace

The Bible isn't only the most translated work but it also the greatest work ever that was written.

[andylindsey]

Whoa! So glad to see this new video discussing translation. But feels like it cuts off too early. I really hope to see more about translation and the differences between the newer versions of the Bible; such as translations versus paraphrases.

Thank you guys so much for making these videos. I study the Bible alone, so its often overwhelming and difficult to interpret or understand the chapter in which I'm reading. I appreciate your clear and thoughtful videos and messages. God bless!

[kgbear]

I highly recommend Bible Nerds and Tim Mackie archives as well as all the Bible Project videos. I’ve learned so much here. Thanks guys for all your diligent work.

As always, great video! I get a little nervous when you tackle topics that could be used to bash certain denominations (mostly Catholics) but it’s always a clean game that any Christian can enjoy. Keep fighting the good fight!
