As part of Biblefresh and celebrations of the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, Wycliffe Bible Translators have been running a series of Bible classes called Understanding the Scriptures. Each class is taught by someone with experince of Bible translation and provides an introduction to a theological subject. The seventh in our series, the September class, was taken by Eddie Arthur. Eddie is the executive director of Wycliffe Bible Translators and spoke on how other cultures read the Bible.
