Four Announcements

from Working for the Word - a Bible translation podcast · host Andrew Case

First, I have a new podcast that’s extremely eclectic that summarizes interesting books of all kinds, from theology to travelogues and everything in between. If you’re at all interested in seeing some of the things I’m learning about or want to highlight for others, and don’t have time to read tons of books, these are usually about 30 mins long each. It’s a fun one.Second, the expanded and revised edition of my book on the Divine name is out now, so you can get a free copy. It's free on all the ebook platforms. If you want a paperback, it's available at cost for a little over six dollars on Amazon. If you don't have time to read it, I've already recorded the audio for it and will be releasing it here on the podcast as I edit it. This will effectively replace the series I did a few years ago. Also, the book is public domain, so feel free to make your own version or translate it into another language. I'll be translating it to Spanish and Portuguese soon, Lord willing. Third, I want everyone to know that there’s a free book out called God Spoke, and it has been dedicated to the public domain. The author wanted something modern and comprehensive to be available freely to everyone about the transmission of the text of Scripture–in essence, how we got the Bible. I’ll link that in the description as well: God Spoke by Matthew Mangum.Fourth, there’s a new text of the GNT coming out soon, which will also be public domain. I recently interviewed one of the guys behind it on the Selling Jesus channel. Whether or not you agree with his choice of textual tradition for the Greek New Testament, Dwayne Green and his colleagues are setting a refreshing, biblical example of freely giving their work of ministry. It represents countless hours of labor for the Church.  If you want to learn more about their work and why they believe the Byzantine Text is better than the Critical Text, check out the following videos:Reason 1 - Conjectural Emendation:  Why the BYZANTINE text is the BEST 1Reason 2 - Geography:  Why the BYZANTINE text is the BEST 2Reason 3 - Accounts Best for the History of MSS and the Church: Why the BYZANTINE text is the BEST 3
