What others have said about Dave's work on translation:

Bible teachers at every level will find this book an invaluable source of practical illustrations, charts, graphs, and clear thinking regarding the process of transferring the message of the Bible from its original languages to modern ones. The book should be required reading for every serious Bible student.

Dave Brunn’s thorough presentation on translations was greatly used by God in our group. We had people present from many different “translation persuasions,” and to a person, they all expressed their gratitude. The most common response was “I learned SO much about our English versions.” Many of them shared how their perspective has been dramatically altered (and in my judgment, has become more “centered”). Dave's presentation is well balanced, scholarly, and obviously based upon many years of personal experience. Thanks, Dave, for allowing God to use you, and we look forward to hearing you share again in the future.
