Pastoral Reflections on Bible Translations: Why We Preach from the ESV
01/10/07
Mark Driscoll
January 2007 marks a significant change at Mars Hill Church. Since our inception as a small Bible study in 1996, all of the preaching and teaching has been done from the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. Over the years, God has used the NIV greatly in my life, beginning with my conversion in 1990. However, the elders at Mars Hill Church have decided that we should transition from the NIV to the English Standard Version (ESV) as our primary pulpit translation. Some people may have questions about why this shift was made. This paper is my pastoral attempt to give a brief overview of the theological and practical issues associated with translations in general and the ESV in particular.
