Working for the Word - a Bible translation podcast
Andrew CaseIt's been said that people don't want to know: 1) how sausages are made, 2) how bibles are translated. In this podcast we bravely talk about the latter, go deep into biblical studies, and seek to treasure and understand the Bible together. It's for people who want to get nerdy about Scripture and for those who want to understand how their translations came to be. Everything from history to Hebrew,... more

I've been learning biblical Hebrew through Aleph with Beth on YouTube and now I've been binging this podcast ever since I found out about it. I love and appreciate all that you are doing! God bless!
Podcast Addict52 years agolilitalia- Captivating and Exciting
I haven’t listened to a boring episode yet. Andrew is studied, considerate, and skillfully inviting a wide audience in to the world(s) of Bible translation. I have been captivated and convicted to read and study scripture more, and I have been enthralled with the many pieces of the Bible translation puzzle. I am now on journey exploring my own place in Bible translation.

Germany4 years ago - Fantastic on two fronts
If you love the Bible, you should listen to at least a few episodes. Your appreciation for the Word will increase and you will find a greater understanding of it by looking at texts from different angles.
If you love language, you will gain so much from these discussions. The variety of languages discussed, the interest in history and social contexts, and the passion for real communication (the whole point of language!) of original ideas is unsurpassed.
If you happen to be a Bible-believing, l... more

United States4 years ago - So helpful!
This is a great podcast on the extremely important (and often overlooked) great commission task of Bible translation. It also offers a lot of helpful material relating to exegesis and the Biblical languages. I don’t agree with Andrew on everything, but I do share his love for God’s Word and his desire for all of God’s people to have it in their own language.
Apple Podcasts5Lrome04United States5 years ago - Helpful for Anyone Who Cares about Biblical Languages and Bible Translation
Andrew’s podcast fills a much-needed niche. While focused on Bible translation, his content varies in a delightful and helpful way. Some episodes show the painstaking research and transparent wrestling to make good decisions for issues that arise in translation consulting. Others involve interviews or portion of audio recordings of experts to tackle specific topics germane to working in the biblical languages. Andrew does a great job “breaking it down” into chunks to walk the hearer step-by-step... more
