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! Support the show (https://lifeintranslationblog.wordpress.com/support/)

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.

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. Support the show (https://lifeintranslationblog.wordpress.com/support/)

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! If you would like to help raise funds for an Alumnus of my School who lost their house in the winter storm, you can do so here. 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. To contact me, click here.

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. Contact: https://lifeintranslationblog.wordpress.com/ Support the show (https://lifeintranslationblog.wordpress.com/support/)
