Most people think of the King James Version as the original Bible in English. When pastor, professor, and popular YouTuber Tim Wildsmith first thought about writing his book on Bible translations, he assumed he would start "in the beginning" with the legendary KJV.
But as it turns out, there is a long and fascinating list of Bibles in English that not only came before the KJV but also played a significant role in its development. From Wycliffe to Tyndale and many more, here's Tim's quick guide to the first English Bibles. |

November 7 — Is Christianity struggling or flourishing? According to Lausanne's massive State of the Great Commission report, "your answer probably depends on where you live." Highlights from the report include looking at the average representative Christian today; the fact that the Christian percentage of the world's population hasn't grown since 1900; the primacy of discipleship in evangelism; and more. (Christianity Today, from the Lausanne Movement) |
| November 8 — The Vatican has opened a new visitors' center near St. Peter's Basilica to accommodate the anticipated influx of pilgrims during the 2025 Year of Jubilee. This center will assist and engage visitors — especially students — with multilingual staff, ticket sales, planning assistance, learning programs, and disability accommodations. Proceeds from the gift shop will support projects with the Be Human Foundation. (Aleteia) |

For writer Ashley Lande, mired in addiction and desperately chasing God in her next high, it was indeed foolishness for many years — an impenetrable mystery of blood and sacrifice and atonement, of sin and salvation — whatever that meant, if it could even be found.
It wasn't until she gave up chasing God, despairing that she would never be able to catch him, that she realized: He had already come to her — and to all of us — on the cross. |
| In the New Testament the Gospels record the story of a woman with an "issue of blood." One day Jesus passed near her in a crowd, and if you know the story, you know that she reached out and touched Jesus and was immediately healed.
What happened next is easy to miss.
What does this story of the woman in the crowd have to do with your relationship? Pastors and marriage coaches Jimmy and Irene Rollins show how confessing your own trauma can help you love your spouse's differences. |
