Bible Discussion Thread

Derrick, thank you for your well thought out reply. Your points are well taken. I read the KJV, stem to stern, many years ago. I have been translating the Vulgate into English just to keep my brain from rotting , so I have been thrust into the nuts and bolts of each verse more so than the average reader. My Latin, such as it is, was learned in high school, from which I graduated in 1962, you might say is a little rusty. I have found many interesting departures in meaning between what Jerome 's Latin says and what the KJV says--nothing world shaking, but interesting, nonetheless. Yes, I know the original texts are not in Latin, but Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It just happens that I know Latin a little , but have no clue as to the other tongues. But, I figure, at the end of this project, I will know both the Bible and Latin very much better than I do now. Again, thank you for sharing your cogent views.
