Welcome to the Spanish Bible Blog. Here you will find much information about the Spanish Bible, its inception, its texts, and those men who translated it into the Castellan tongue. You will also learn about the Valera 1602 Purified Spanish Bible, the only Spanish Bible which follows the texts of the Protestant reformation without any mixture of catholic, critical, or modern translation readings.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SPANISH BIBLE

The dream of a Bible translated into Spanish for all Spaniards to read was not an easy task to acheive. The Spanish Inquistion, as well as various Papal Indexes against translation of the scriptures into the vulgar tongue forbade those who desired to do the work, oftentimes leading to their being imprisoned, and even burned at the stake for their defiance to Papal law in translating the scriptures into the language of the common man.
Still, some courageous Spaniards with no regard for their own lives, and with a great evangelistic burden for their own people, translated the scriptures into Castellan Spanish for their own countrymen to read and absorb.
In their day, these men were labeled as heretics for their work, but today we remember them as heroes.
This blog will seek to give information about these men, who they were, what they did, how they did it, and why. And it is the hope of the author that this information will prove useful to the reader.

The 1602 Valera Purified New Testament now Available

We now have the Valera 1602 Purified in Spanish available online via Amazon.com at a price of $16.02.  (Price is intended to honor the year of Valera's work of 1602).

It can be ordered by visiting:

We are practicing and learning how to use P.O.D. (print on demand), so we have taken the .pdf file of the Valera 1602 Purified New Testament and cut and copied it page by page to make the New Testament of this translation available, as they are hard to get today. 

Thankfully, though, more whole Bibles shall be printed soon, as the plan is to print the newest, updated version in December.  I hope we can find a way to make these available online as well.

My Books Now Available Online for purchase through Amazon.com

Finally, I've found a way to have my books available online to purchase through Amazon.com.  I've worked hard at designing new covers for them all and making them available through Print on Demand technology.  They can be found at my bookstore at:

http://www.rrb3.com/bookstore/bookstore_index.htm

I've rewritten and updated by book "A Brief History of the Spanish Bible," and boy did it turn out good!  It has a lot more information (it's not longer that "brief), as well as many prints of the prefaces of many old Spanish Bibles inside.  I've also added a comparison chart of the Spanish Bibles used today, which shows the Valera 1602 Purified is the best.  This book is work getting, as it's chalked full of important information about the Spanish Bible.

I've also revised and added much material to my two other books, "The History and Truth About the Spanish Bible Controversy" and "The History and Truth About the Reina-Valera Gomez Spanish Bible."  These two books contain a wealth of information for anyone seeking to know more about the truth about the Spanish Bible, its history, and those who have tried to get the Spanish-speaking people a pure Bible in their own language.  It also shows how the modern Gomez Bible is not a true Protestant Castilian Spanish Bible, as it relied heavily on the modern 1960 Spanish Bible.  They also will point you to the Valera 1602 Purified as the purest Spanish Bible to date and why.

Soon, I hope to post my lastest book about the Spanish Bible, entitled, "The Spanish Bible: its Inception and Those Courageous Men Behind its Translation."  I'm still working on it though. 

My other books are also available at my bookstore.  I've gone through and reread them time and again and updated them with more information.  I believe they are worth your time in reading.
