The first stage, inspiration, is the original writing of the text which was written in a culture very different from our own. The second stage, preservation, is the copying of the original to presreve it. The third stage, translation, is the process of translating the original Hebrew langauge into other languages. The fourth and last stage, interpretation, is how we read, interpret and understand the text. Through this process misunderstandings, mistranslations and misinterpretations can and do occur.
This presentation is great for individual study or as a presentation to a Bible study group or congregation.
