Apologia holds to the historic orthodox Christian belief that only the original autographs are under the divine promise of inspiration and inerrancy. We do believe, however, that some translations more accurately convey the original meaning of the text and that some translations should not be used at all. 

Apologia uses several translations with the young audience in mind so that readability is balanced with faithfulness to the original texts. For the What We Believe series, you can read more about this in the “Who is God” page 44 call out.

We recommend that you complete these studies with your preferred Bible translation.
