Unless you are expert in one of the biblical languages, you may have felt the tension.
- How on earth is that word really pronounced?
- What if there’s someone in the congregation who really knows the Greek language and
my definition of a word isn’t exactly right?
- Will people really benefit if I refer to the Greek, or am I secretly trying to impress
people?
- What are some basic steps I can take to improve my understanding and use of biblical
languages?
