In this episode I talk a little about what it is like to start Hebrew studies again, and also give an update on the goings on among the refugees in Greece. Then I switch to talking about one of the first major Bible Translations, the Vulgate, and how the issues which Jerome encountered are very similar in many ways to the issues surrounding modern Bible Translation.
If you would like to give to support the work in Greece, you can do so here.
