Episode Synopsis

Dave and Autumn respond to a listener’s question about the documentary 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture. Our listener asks, “I’d love to hear your thoughts and Biblical perspectives on what this documentary is claiming. As Christians raising small children, we cannot arm ourselves enough with the truth. Hunter always says it’s important to know the best arguments against your beliefs.” The documentary contends that the translation team responsible for the 1946 Revised Standard Version wrongfully translated I Corinthians 6:9 and that this mistranslation catalyzed an anti-gay movement in churches and among conservative Americans.Resources mentioned in this episode:1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture
