With so many great translations and commentaries available to the pastor, is it really that valuable to understand the original languages? In this episode, Peter provides nuance to the topic of suffering, Tommy compares translations to pick-up trucks, and Gray talks about Bavinck (but not the one you’re thinking). Also featured: Paul Jeon and Scott Redd.
