Reina-Valera translation

by Jose Sanders
(Topeka, KS)

I'd like to correct an error on this webpage. You indicate that most Spanish speaking Christians use the Reina-Valera version. It is correct that most Protestant Christians use the Reina-Valera. However we do not use the 1909 translation, but rather the 1960 translation. The 1909 translation is not used by anyone except new Christians that accidentally pick it up from a bookstore and use it for a few weeks until someone explains to them that they got the wrong translation.

You can easily confirm this by talking with a few Spanish speaking Christians.

starstarstarstarstar 		Reina Valera version of the Bible

Thanks for the comments, Jose. I guess I shouldn't have lumped all Christians together in the same boat. Yes, different groups use different Bibles, but I guess it still remains true that the Reina-Valera version of the Bible is a popular version in use, regardless of the date.

I?m going to recommend this post to my friends. Good information and good writing. Thought even I should share some information with you. Have a look at www.translationartwork.com , these guys have mixed art and translation. Unique concept.
