Hi I’m Eric. I’m doing a podcast on translating the New Testament.

You’re probably asking yourself why you should listen to me, and the truth is you probably shouldn’t.

I’m neither a scholar nor a pastor, I’m not even a Christian, so nothing I say is gospel.

Who I am is a person with an introductory knowledge of ancient Greek language, and interest in understanding the background of these texts.

Come with me as I fall into the pitfalls of amature translation and do minimal research to try and climb out.

Join me on Layman and Lexicon.
