Quote of the Week

In his book From Exegesis to Exposition, Dr. Robert Chisholm Jr. writes about the importance of translating the Scriptures in a correct fashion, he says, "What passes for translation, however , is often a wooden, slavishly word-for-word rendering that is stylistically abominable and reflects few real interpretative decisions. Only the most basic exegetical skills are developed and the student is rarely, if ever, shown how to exegesis impacts interpretations, let alone sermon preparation." (p. 9)
