An Incarnational View of Translation

Byhenry August 22, 2006

In several previous posts I’ve talked about the incaration and how it is central to Christianity. This post is not a continuation of that series, but rather a very brief detour to look at one of my favorite topics: Bible translation. I had been thinking about this post for a few days, but I was…

Byhenry December 28, 2006

From realmealministries.org comes a brief discussion of Bible translations and how to make your choice of one to use.

First let me…

Via Dave Black, I found this post, which outlines the participles of this passage well. I have expressed my view on this passage previously, and it takes the participles into account and aligns with one of the positions suggested.
