The Biggest Brouhaha in Bible Translation - part 3 with Dr. Christophe Rico

Working for the Word - a Bible translation podcast

If you go to the entry page on Wikipedia for the word 'almah you’ll find this: “despite its importance to the account of the virgin birth of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, scholars agree that it has nothing to do with virginity.” They sound very sure of themselves, and this tide needs to be turned. Dr. Rico is helping us see how this sort of definition is completely wrong based on the evidence, unhelpful, and obscures the contextual meaning of Isaiah 7:14. This episode is full of everything from musicology to exposition. It's going to be a good one.

Make sure to get your own copy of Dr. Rico's book here. For those who might want the French version, it's available here.

This is his book that teaches Greek as a living language.
