Let’s proceed to the list of the most popular, best selling Bible translations in 2018. Insider Monkey has recently published an interesting article about it giving you some advice. There are basically over hundreds of different translations of the Bible to English language, and each version can be analyzed in different ways. So, we have a literal translation, which is a word-for-word translation from Greek and Hebrew to the English language. The other option is thought-for-thought translation, which put the emphasis on the importance of the meaning of the translated sentence and the context of the whole text. Based on these differences, people have their own preferences. As we cannot agree on tastes, it means there is no universal agreement of what is the best Bible translation.
Now without a further ado let’s see what Insider Monkey has investigated for us. We have picked two of the most popular, best selling Bible translations in 2018 from their list.
