From Scroll to Smartphone: The Story of Bible Translation traces the remarkable journey of God’s Word across languages, cultures, and centuries.
Beginning with Jerome’s Latin Vulgate, the book follows the sacrifices of Wycliffe and Tyndale, the flowering of Reformation-era vernacular Bibles, the majesty of the King James Version, the missionary expansion of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the committee-driven translations of the 20th century. It highlights the modern work of Wycliffe Bible Translators and JAARS, and concludes with today’s digital tools and global collaboration.
Along the way, readers will find:
- Scripture and quotations grounding each chapter.
- Accessible teaching about translation history.
- Meditations, reflections, poems, and prayers to connect the history to personal devotion.
- Study and Leader’s Guides to encourage deeper engagement, whether individually or in groups.
The message is simple but profound: the Bible has been carried through fire, prison, printing presses, airplanes, and servers so that it could rest in your hands today. And the best translation? The one you love enough to read again and again.
