Synopsis

Dennis G. Perry’s How We Got Our Bible is a comprehensive and well-
researched examination of Bible translation from an Evangelical
perspective. The book meticulously traces the historical journey of
biblical texts, exploring the significance of translation efforts,
theological accuracy, and textual integrity. Perry provides a clear and
engaging introduction to the principles that guide Evangelicals in
selecting and assessing translations, emphasizing the authority,
inerrancy, and sufficiency of Scripture.
A standout feature of the book is its treatment of the Apocrypha and
the Canon of Scripture, where Perry carefully outlines Evangelical
reasons for rejecting these books as divinely inspired. The discussion
of translation methodologies, from the Masoretic Text to modern
dynamic equivalence approaches, highlights the ongoing challenge of
balancing faithfulness to the original languages with contemporary
readability. Additionally, the book provides a compelling narrative on
the historical impact of Bible translation, from the Septuagint and
Latin Vulgate to the King James Version and modern translations like
the NASB and ESV.
Overall, Perry successfully combines historical scholarship with
theological reflection, making this book a valuable resource for
anyone seeking to understand the complexity and significance of
Bible translation in the Evangelical tradition.
