Philippians 1:3-11 is one of the Lectionary passages this week, and so I read through it this morning during my devotional time in Greek. Now Paul is good at long sentences.

One of my goals for this blog is that its readers might develop in their ability to spot errors or other problems in English Bible translations. Becoming more sensitive to issues of accuracy and naturalness can help us read the Bible more carefully. (It has some downsides, as well, such as allowing our analytical side ...1 week ago -
Thinking about Scripture

Authority: 119
Last month I posted about trying to listen to Scourby reading the KJV , and how distracting it was working out what Elizabethan prose meant in expository texts (i.e., the epistles). This morning one of our readers took me to task. He argued that just because the KJV is hard to understand is not a reason to say that ...1 week ago -
This is definitely about Bible translation

Thanks for all the comments on my preceding post. You are alert readers. You caught that the issue had to do with whether or not I was referring to a specific tree in my made-up paragraph. (BTW, I did go moose-hunting with my father. I forget how old I was the last time he took me. I know I was big enough to help him ...1 week ago -

Once when I was perhaps five my father took me hunting with him. We walked quite a ways. There was a lot of tall grass which was difficult for me to walk through. When we came to the tree my father stopped. It had good shade. Dad got out our lunch and we ate it. OK, now re-read that paragraph which I just made up. ...2 weeks ago -

Several English versions translate Matt. 11:1 similar to: When Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

Whew! What a mouthful that title is. I got all the titles from the Wiki page on “Apocrypha” , which links helpfully to “Biblical Apocrypha” and “Deuterocanonical Books” . What you will get out of reading those three articles at its most basic is that one person’s apocrypha, etc. is another person’s ...3 weeks ago -
