Matthew's genealogy promises 42 names but seemingly has only 41. Unless, that is, the text is read with an Aramaic background in mind. Andrew Gabriel Roth's publications include The Apostolic Writings: A Translation from Aramaic to English of the Div... more
The combined imagery used by James when telling us how to "receive" God's word suggests a good (humble, non-narcissistic) host welcoming a new guest with genuine interest in that person. Dr. J. D. Atkins is Associate Professor of New Testament Langua... more
The Hebrew word for heart, lev/levav, is often appropriately translated with words like "mind," "will," or others. Such is the case in the three instances of this word in 2 Samuel 7 (vv. 3, 21, 27). However, even though there are good translational r... more

A concise, language-focused discussion series where Wheaton College and Lanier Theological Library scholars explore Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek to illuminate Scripture. Episodes cover topics from Erasmus Academy and language pedagogy to exegesis of specific passages, textual transmission, and intertextual insights, all framed around reading the Bible in original languages. The format tends to short, highly academic conversations with renowned biblical language experts, offering practical study tips and pastoral applications for pastors, students, and serious readers.
