In this episode of TLV Talk, Mandie Greenberg Kelley and Rabbi Riccardo Giuliano pull back the curtain on how Bible translations are actually made—and why two translators working from the same Scriptures can sometimes arrive at different English words. From word-for-word and thought-for-thought approaches to paraphrases and retellings, they explore the tension between accuracy, readability, and preserving the meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek. They also dig into manuscript choices, reading levels, theological influence, and what can get lost when ancient ideas have no perfect English equivalent. Along the way, they use the Tree of Life Version as one example of how a translation philosophy shapes the finished Bible, particularly its emphasis on preserving the Jewish context of Scripture. With so many translations available today, this conversation gives you a fascinating look behind the words on the page—and why your Bible may not always say exactly what another one does.(find resources @ https://tlvbiblesociety.org)Grab the after show on the TLV Bible App and get deeper, more personal conversation!
