Lost in Translation

Philology, Linguistics and the Bible

Come join in this three-part seminar on the structure, history and relationships of the languages of the Bible.

What language did Jesus speak? Why was the New Testament written in Greek? What are the Septuagint and the Vulgate? How did the Bible get translated into English, and why are there so many translations today? Does grammar really matter? Why are there so many Hebrew names that end in “el” or “iah”? We’ll talk about all of this.
