Seeing the Word of God
Rev. Thomas G. James

Sermon Excerpt
Through language theory and modernity, we have found that, though etymology, sentence structure, and linguistic comparisons can help in translating the Bible, the most reliable way to translate the Biblical text is to read the text in context. Context matters more than etymology. Context matters more than sentence structure. Context matters more than simple letter-by- letter translations.
