This episode explores one of the main reasons I became interested in New Testament translation. To day I take a look at John 



Episode 3: κατέλαβεν (katelaben) John 1:5,12 and John 12:35

Hi I’m Eric. I’m doing a podcast on translating the New Testament.

You’re probably asking yourself why you should listen to me, and the truth is you probably shouldn’t.

I’m neither a scholar nor a pastor, I’m not even a Christian, so nothing I say is gospel. 

Who I am is a person with an introductory knowledge of ancient Greek language, and interest in understanding the background of these texts.

Come with me as I fall into the pitfalls of amature translation and do minimal research to try and climb out.

Join me on Layman and Lexicon.
