In this "Lama (Hebrew for 'Why?') Talk With Izzy", Izzy reviews various Bible originals and translations including the Message by Eugene Peterson, the Hebrew Tanach, the Greek New Testament, the Scriptures by the Institute for Scripture Research, the New American Standard, contrasts word for word with dynamic equivalent translations, and discusses the ideals of a translation - accuracy, understandability, original Hebrew pronunciation - and the practice of intentionally replacing English nomenclature with the original Hebrew when reading standard Christian English translations.
