Translating Poetry

Byhenry March 30, 2016

Byhenry December 8, 2006

I’ve posted something on this over on my Threads blog, titled Does Gordon Fee Discard Part of the Bible?. That post is a response to part of a interview with Wayne Grudem by Adrian Warnock. I think it will be of interest to readers of this blog for the textual criticism aspects, though less so…
