On Thursday Oct 25, Karen King gave a lecture at Carleton University in Ottawa called “Controversies over Sexuality and Marriage among Early Christians: What a New Papyrus Fragment Can (or Can’t) Tell Us.” While Prof. King did little to respond to the many criticisms that have circulated as to the authenticity of the fragment, she did explain that her initial skepticism nearly prevented her from working on this document at all. Her belief in its authenticity only gradually emerged after a long period of reflection. She was equally emphatic that even if the papyrus is judged to be authentic, it provides absolutely no evidence about the historical Jesus’ marital status. This last point, she lamented, has been completely overlooked in recent media coverage and largely lost on the public. The reality of this situation was amply demonstrated by the fact that, in spite of a very nuanced presentation about early…

Some (rushed and terrible) photos of #18, a Barbero inspired guitar made from very high quality European spruce and cypress; Spanish cedar neck with ebony insert and fingerboard, Indian rosewood headplate and bridge, Madagascar rosewood binding. Unfortunately I couldn’t get any proper flamenco recording yet, but I’m delighted to brag that it sounds very good. My friend Tiberiu „El Grelo” Gogoanta, a professional flamenco player from Spain said it is the most powerful blanca he ever played when capo’ed higher up the neck, which seems to be a tricky situation for many guitars. When set up with a taller saddle it makes an excellent classical guitar, with the typical sweet and delicate tonal color of cypress, plenty of harmonics and excellent sustain.

1. Perhaps the number one myth about Bible translation is that a word-for-word translation is the best kind. Anyone who is conversant in more than one language recognizes that a word-for-word translation is simply not possible if one is going to communicate in an understandable way in the receptor language. Yet, ironically, even some biblical scholars who should know better continue to tout word-for-word translations as though they were the best. Perhaps the most word-for-word translation of the Bible in English is Wycliffe’s, done in the 1380s. Although translated from the Latin Vulgate, it was a slavishly literal translation to that text. And precisely because of this, it was hardly English.
2. Similar to the first point is that a literal translation is the best version. In fact, this is sometimes just a spin on the first notion. For example, the Greek New Testament has about 138,000–140,000 words, depending on which…
