Life In Translation

Hey y'all!

This (overdue) episode is my attempt at explaining it lay terms what my thesis is about. This description is short because, well, I gotta get back to working on my thesis and things.

Hope you enjoy!

In this episode I talk about a recent conference/orientation event I attended in Dallas, my upcoming trip to Mexico, and some things I've been considering about prayer.

(Scripture references: 2 Corinthians 1:8-11, Revelation 15:3-4)

Hey!

In this episode, I talk about some of the things that struck me as I studied 1 Kings 17, and how the significance of this passage plays out other places in the Bible (particularly in Jesus' life). This is just one of the many stories that are blowing my mind as I increasingly understand the inter-connectedness of Scripture.

God bless!

In this episode, I discuss the two biggest philosophies in the Bible Translation discussion, the philosophies of Formal Equivalence and Dynamic Equivalence, and a few strengths and weaknesses of each.

Hey! Things are thawing here in Houston, and I decided to get a podcast out. This week I discuss Skopostheorie (That's the German word), how Skopostheorie would apply to translating folk stories (That's the Arabian Nights), and how it sort of reframes the Bible Translation debates (And that's the English Bible Translations).

Enjoy!

Thanks!

I finally found some time in my study schedule to talk a little bit about Hebrew accent and cantillation marks, and how we can use them to get some hints for how to read the Bible.
I also mention some of the need to pray for that nation of Burma right now in the light of the recent coup de-etat.

With the New Year, a lot of people are beginning new Bible reading plans. In this episode, I share the general Bible reading plan that I have found to be most helpful in my own life, as well as talk about the need to discipline and cultivate our attitude towards Scripture.

Hey! This week I talk a little about what to expect in the upcoming semester and year, between finishing school, and my next steps after that.

It's Christmas break and the Semester is done! This week I talk about a few of the linguistics questions that have caused me to lose sleep as I sing and or hear Christmas carols.

Today I don't talk at all about language, or Hebrew (Gasp!). Instead, I tell a story about a woman I met in Greece, one of the stories that I think about often, and that encourages me not to settle for a comfortable life when it would be easy.

That's it. That's the description.
