How We Got Our Bible: And Why the NLT Helps Us Understand It Today

By Kristi Thomas

Many of us grew up with the King James Bible. Its words live in our memories and our hearts - and
nothing in this study tears it down.
But have you ever wondered how we got our Bible at all? Who wrote its 66 books, who copied them
by hand for centuries, and how the words traveled from scrolls to the printed Bible on your table?
This warm, plain-spoken study tells that whole story - the Dead Sea Scrolls, the first printed Bibles,
and the brave translators who believed ordinary people should be able to read God's Word for
themselves.
Then it does something your group will love: it sets the King James Version and the New Living
Translation side by side - Psalm 23, John 3:16, Romans 8:28, and more - so you can see for yourself
that the message is the same. The NLT simply says it in the clear, everyday English we speak now, so
everyone at the table can follow, understand, and obey.
Written for small groups and personal study, with ten discussion questions to talk through together.
Keep the King James you love for its beauty and memory. Study in words you understand.
