GALATIANS 5:22-23 (NKJV) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” Greetings, dear TTP family! We have reached the final part of our enlightening voyage through…
Hello TTP family, we know it has been a while, but to enable us put out the amazing content we have been producing we had to take some time off to study, regroup and strategize. But you don’t have to…
He lived in a time of oppression. His people were so oppressed that they had resorted to caves and dens in the mountains for safety and shelter. Their crops were destroyed and livestock driven away several times over the course of 7 years. They lived in constant fear, were starving and had to carry out harvesting activities in secret. They had lost faith and hope. When they cried out to the Lord in distress, He sent them a prophet to remind them that they had chosen this path for themselves. That after His covenant faithfulness, they turned their backs on Him and worshipped the gods of the people who now persecuted them.

When translating any document from one language to another a lot of factors immediately come into play. The final translation is based on the intent of the translator. The approach used by translation committees usually fall into two broad categories which form the opposite ends of the translation spectrum. They are Formal equivalence and Functional equivalence. The formal equivalence approach also commonly referred to as the word for word approach tries to translate the words from the original language to the target language (English) while keeping the same word order and structure (syntax). The difficulty with this approach is that sometimes the final translation may be rigid and difficult to understand. Also what may be good Hebrew or Greek syntax may make for atrocious reading in English.
When was the last time you bought a new Bible? What informed your choice of translation? Do translations even matter in the first place? In the final installment of the Holy Writ series we are going to explore the issue…
So in our last post we looked at how the Old Testament came together. We realized it was a slow and organic process, contrary to the conspiracy theories we’ve encountered in the media. Today in Justify your Inclusion Pt 2…
Paul cuts a very interesting character in the biblical narrative. From his relentless pursuit and persecution of the early Christian movement to his passionate promotion of the same faith, his story is nothing short of epic.
