"Dear Profs.,
"Dear Profs.,
I know it's only Thursday, but here's something start your
weekend.
Today, working on my final assignment in hermeneutics, I was
comparing Joel 2:28-32 with Acts 2:17-21. For this passage, I.H. Marshall has
produced a nice comparison of the LXX text with the Greek NT text,[1] but the
Greek is transliterated, which I have more trouble reading than the Greek
alphabet. So, I turned to Google Translate, which actually does a pretty good
job with Greek in the Greek alphabet. The attached screenshot is the result.
I plan to show this the next time someone in a church asks
why Wycliffe doesn't use machine translation. (We actually do use software to
produce approximate adaptations of text, but not full-fledged translations.)
By the way, thank you, gentlemen, for all your work on the
two courses I've taken this spring and summer. What a tremendous blessing! (And
what a lot of work, too!)
Blessings!"
