I keep promising myself that I won’t mention the King James Only movement again, but every now and then I come across a blog post that I can’t resist mentioning. This is from Dan Wallace: I do not lie when I say that a friend of mine lost his job in a church back in [...]

Uganda and Shropshire

by Eddie 13.08.2010

This is a great video and I hope everyone who visits this blog takes the four minutes it takes to watch it. If you are in Church leadership in the UK you might like to consider what your church could do to start a partnership like this one. That being said, there are a couple [...]

The BBC is making a big thing about a researcher who is going off to live in the Arctic to study a disappearing Inuit language and culture. Now don’t get me wrong, I think this is fantastic. I’m all in favour of people doing language and culture research. The thing I don’t understand is why [...]

Luke In Jamaican Patois: The UK Launch

by Eddie 30.07.2010

This is great news! Though I have to admit that I’m a bit miffed that the video doesn’t mention that the project co-ordinator is Wycliffe member, Bertram Gayle. To me, it is such a positive thing when Christian organisations work together (for example in BibleFresh) that we should go out of our way to celebrate [...]

The Simple Gospel Isn’t So Simple!

by Eddie 29.07.2010

John3:16 is considered by many people to sum up the whole Christian message in a clear and concise form. It certainly is a very rich verse, but it is far from simple. In an absolutely excellent series of 14 short articles, Hart Wiens of the Canadian Bible Society draws out some of the complexities which [...]

From time to time, I have the privilege of spending time with a church community who are commissioning people to go off around the world to work with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Last Sunday, was just such an occasion. I drove over to Cambridge to be with Bar Hill Church as they prayed for their members [...]

Translation Problem

by Eddie 29.07.2010

My friend Paul Davies must be the least regular blogger in the world. In fact, I didn’t even know he had a blog until he mentioned it on FaceBook and he hasn’t posted since 2008. Anyway, his latest post is a little translation problem that is well worth a look at: I know of an [...]

When Will Bible Translation Be Finished?

by Eddie 29.07.2010

When I visit churches and talk to people about Bible translation, I’m often asked when the last translation will be completed. On the surface, this is a simple question; but like most simple questions, it has a complex answer! The simple answer, is that Wycliffe has a vision that the last translation project will have [...]

Joel Hoffman on Bible Translation

by Eddie 15.07.2010

Bible translation can turn romance into a crime; or so Joel Hoffman said in a recent lecture which is reported at the Velveteen Rabbi blog: Dr. Hoffman began by saying, “We’re going to look at Bible translation, at what happens when you read the Bible in English” — the Hebrew, the Greek, and the Aramaic [...]

Measured by Opposition

by Eddie 11.07.2010

My emotions are well and truly mixed. It is, of course, flattering that no less a personage as the well renowned Revd. Drayton Parslow has condescended to take note of this humble blog. On the other hand, it does give me great concern that such a well-renowned scholar has taken issue with something that I [...]

Translators or Missionaries

by Eddie 09.07.2010

The Denver Post recently had an article on Bible Translation which went on to appear all over the internet including on at least one British Website. I did think about commenting on some of the issues that the article raised, but decided not to. However, today I noticed that Daniel Midgely (who describes himself as [...]
