Several New International Translations Added to BLB Website!

Making God's Word available in as many languages as possible has been a key focus of Christians for centuries and is likewise a key focus of our mission and vision at Blue Letter Bible. For many years, we have offered several public domain Bible versions on the mobile apps that were not available on the website. We have been working diligently to bring these to the site, and are excited to announce the addition of these eight versions to our website:

• Bible in Basic English (BBE)
• Chinese Traditional Union (CHT)
• Español Moderno (EM)
• Korean Holy Bible (KOR)
• Louis Segond (LS; French)
• German Luther (LUT)
• Russian Synodal Translation (RST)
• Sagradas Escrituras (SE; Spanish)

It is always a tremendous blessing to add new languages to our library of tools and resources. Our call as Christians is to bring the gospel and God's Word to all nations of the world (Matthew 28:19-20). We are purposeful in what versions we offer on BLB, desiring to provide our readers with sound translations that faithfully represent the original languages.

Gospel of John Teaching Series from Pastor Tony Clark

Last year, we were blessed to welcome Pastor Tony Clark to our library of content providers with his audio series through the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Now, we are excited to provide his audio series through the Gospel of John. This gospel is unique in its inclusion of certain accounts, such as Jesus’ miracle at the wedding of Cana, His discussion with Nicodemus, and the resurrection of Lazarus. It also offers several dissertations and sermons from Christ, many of which were given only to the apostles.

Pastor Tony had this to say about the gospel: “What I want people to take away from the Gospel of John is this. The Apostle John wrote with a purpose in mind that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. And we can have eternal life in His name. I want the listeners to fall more in love with Jesus and realize that He is Who He claims to be—God in human flesh!” May we all desire to see Christ in Scripture as the God of the universe—not merely a wise, godly man.

You can start listening to this series on BLB, or check out all of Pastor Tony Clark's messages from his author page.

New Resources from John Bunyan!

John Bunyan is most well-known for his work on the bestselling Pilgrim's Progress. But he wrote many more volumes than just that great work of fiction. He penned numerous sermons and treatises, three of which we are excited to now provide for you on Blue Letter Bible.

Firstly, Bunyan's work Come and Welcome to Jesus is now available. This resource focuses on Christ's open arms of fellowship to all believers who accept Him as Lord and Savior. The editor describes the work thusly: "It is an enlightened display of the dealings of the Father in giving sinners to Christ; the Son in saving them by his atonement, mediation, and intercession; and the Holy Spirit in sanctifying and fitting them for glory." Before you begin reading, we recommend browsing the Table of Contents or looking through the introduction.

Secondly, we offer A Treatise of the Fear of God. In this volume, Bunyan provides a biblical examination of how we are to view our Almighty God with the proper fearful and reverential worship that He so deserves. He highlights what a blessing it is to us as Christians to fear the only One Who has power over all things, and in turn, our very lives.

And thirdly, Christ: A Complete Saviour has been added. This work aims to make clear the role and significance of Christ in both our justification and sanctification. An excerpt from the section titled "The Use" reads as follows: "Let me exhort you to the study of this..the priestly office of Christ is the first and great thing that is presented to us in the gospel—namely, how he died for our sins, and gave himself to the cross, that the blessing of Abraham might come upon us through him."

All three of these publications are immensely beneficial for a believer to engage with and read through. The experiences in Bunyan's and his giftings in writing make any work of his a delight to read. To take a look through Bunyan's resource library on BLB, we recommend starting on his author page.
