Summary: #

Where did the Spanish Bible come from? Was the Reina-Valera 1960 the first Spanish Bible? Who were Casiodoro de Reina and Cipriano de Valera, and why are their names still associated with the Spanish Bible today?

In this episode, we trace the history of the Spanish Bible from the original 1569 Reina Bible through the 1602 Valera revision, and then follow the major revisions of 1865, 1909, 1960, 1977, and later editions. We also explain the important difference between a translation and a revision, a distinction that is often misunderstood in discussions about the Spanish Bible.
