How do you like your Bible translations? Dynamic, literal or paraphrased? Does it matter? Answer: Yes. Cooper and Cary Have Words about the Words in the Bible - and the words invented by William Tyndale as he literally made the English Language more Biblical. There was a guy who was good with words. Plus why not teach your kids New Testament Greek? Not even joking.

Cooper and Cary refer to this document in the podcast:
