One of the first editors on the book’s list is Benjamin Blackwell, PhD. He currently holds a position at the Houston Baptist University where he is in the Department of Theology and School of Christian Thought. It is in these departments where he helps to teach students with the primary focus of the New Testament and in Theology. In these classes, he particularly likes to specialize in helping the students to understand how Christians from different time periods read the Bible differently and what the importance of the Bible is in both ancient and modern contexts. Dr. Blackwell’s educational background ties well into both his current positions and in his editing practices. His educational background consists of many degrees, starting with a Doctorate in Philosophy in both the New Testament and in Historical Theology from Durham University in

13) The Creation of the World; the Garden of Eden; Adam and Eve; Original Sin; the Fall

Must be all that adultery, murder and incest. But not to worry. It’s back on the shelves.” ~Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. The Bible was originally written in Latin. The reason for this person being burned at the stake could that the writer and everyone else wanted to keep the Bible in its original language to keep from ruining it. In this way the Bible was more spread out and this was seen as blasphemy in the Bible. I disagree with this as a result of translating the Bible people who didn’t understand Latin could now read the Bible. I also agree as a result of the person who wrote the Bible wanted to keep the text to themselves and only those who could understand it. This in turn would lead to control over those who could read and understand

Throughout the history of the Bible, few words have had more controversy than the words, faith, works, and justification. James’ uses a powerful interrogative to pose the

I examined Jeremiah 13:1-11in these three translations: New International Version (NIV), English Standard Version (ESV), and The Message (MSG); most of the perspectives will be coming from the NIV. The NIV calls this narrative ‘A Linen Belt’, the ESV called it ‘The Ruined Loincloth’, and the MSG called it ‘People Who Do Only What They Want to Do’. The story starts out with God telling Jeremiah to buy a linen belt and not to let it touch water. Jeremiah bought the linen belt and tied it around his waist just as God told him to do. Then God said to him that he should take the belt to Perath (possibly the Euphrates) and hide it in a crevice amongst the rocks. Jeremiah obeyed God, went to Perath and hid the linen belt in a crevice between the rocks. Many days later God told him that he should go get the belt that he hid amongst the rocks and Jeremiah listened to God so he went back to Perath to retrieve the linen belt. Jeremiah retrieved the belt, but now has a belt that is ruined and useless. Then God said, “In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. These wicked people, who refuse to listen to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts and go after other gods to serve and worship them, will be like this belt—completely useless!  For as a belt is bound around the waist, so I bound all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah to me, to be my people for my renown and praise and honor. But they

The King James version bible states in ‘Genesis 1:26-27’ that “Gods image is shared equally by women and men”. ‘Exodus 36:1’ says, “use your skills to honor God”. Despite what the bible seems to be saying, women do not have the same opportunities as men in Christian religious settings. Imagine a woman in the Christian faith who has the qualifications to preach the word of God and the eagerness to serve the Lord. Logically, she should be awarded the job position. However, she is not even considered for that opportunity. In multiple recurring instances, the church congregation has discriminated against women, not allowing them to have the same opportunities as the men in the community. These women are not only discriminated against, but are scoffed at, even penalized for wanting these positions. Women should not be penalized for having faith in the Lord and wanting to share it with others. The bible states how both women and men are equal and are to use the skills they have to honor God. The congregation should not limit these human resources to only men, when highly qualified and respected women are willing and able to serve. Gender discrimination is a problem in Christian Churches because women who are qualified are unable to access jobs, are experiencing emotional stress, and are being penalized for wanting changes within the church.

The King James Version of the Bible, Retrieved on January 28, 2015 from 2 Corinthians 5: 16-

This verse brought up many controversies in regards to Paul stating two prohibitions or just one.

The Birth of the King James Bible started a new era and a new way of thinking which greatly impacted many things people do. Anyone picking up the Bible for the first time, or skimming through its contents, is likely to be confused by the variety and often the diversity of the individual books that make it up (Rather, 2009, 11). The King James version of the Bible is sometimes confusing but it greatly impacted many aspects of life and affected many things we do and say today. People adopted many things from this version

Created by Johannes Gutenberg, The Gutenberg Bible was the first mass produced book through the use of a moveable printer. Known for its artistic Latin writing, the Bible only has forty-nine copies remaining, one residing at the Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin. The Gutenberg Bible exhibits religious qualities from the message, directly from God, and the original purpose of the creation of the Bible.

One of the most important books in the history of design is The Gutenberg Bible, also known as the Mazarin Bible and the 42-Line Bible. It is often considered one of the first notable books to have been printed because unlike early books, this book was printed with movable type. Invented by Johann Gutenberg, his invention changed the course of technology and the way people gained knowledge forever.

The process by which the English Bible, as it is known to the English culture today, was compiled is an extraordinary thing to see. The Bible consists of two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The process by which both Testaments were written and then canonized into one book transpired over a period of many years. Once the canonization of the Bible officially came to an end, it was translated into English. Since then, many versions of the modern Bible have been made. Since the individual books of the Bible became scattered as they were written, people set forth to preserve God’s Word by compiling them into one

Although the bible is left up for interpretation, many believe that over time the words have been misconstrued. They yearn to
