Episode 3 - A Personal Journey discovering the Spanish Bible issues

July 16, 2026

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Spanish Bible Podcast. In this episode I share the personal story that started my investigation into the Spanish Bible issue. When I first arrived on the mission field, I was handed the Reina-Valera 1960 and told it was the Bible every missionary used. As I learned Spanish and compared it with my King James Bible, I began noticing differences that raised serious questions. Those questions led me on years of study into: • Why the King James Bible is unique • The importance of the underlying Greek and Hebrew texts • The history of the Reina-Valera Bible • The introduction of Critical Text readings into modern Spanish revisions • Why I believe the 1960 revision deserves careful examination I also explain the four “superiorities” of the King James Bible taught by Dr. D. A. Waite: Superior Texts Superior Translators Superior Translation Technique Superior Theology This episode lays the foundation for the detailed evidence we’ll examine in future episodes, where we’ll compare actual verses and document the textual changes introduced into later Spanish Bibles. Whether you agree or disagree, my goal is to encourage careful study of God’s preserved Word. Subscribe as we continue exploring the history, translation, and preservation of the Spanish Bible.
