We asked you last week to vote and tell us which Biblical languages, if any, you’ve studied. Here’s how the results broke down:
- 40% of you have studied Greek. This was a pleasant surprise, and suggests that many of our readers are pastors or church leaders. Or just really smart. (Or both.)
- Coming in at second place are the 38% who haven’t studied a Biblical language but would like to at some point. To you I say: go for it! It’s not as frighteningly difficult as you might think (until you get to Participles).
- 31% of you have studied ancient Hebrew.
- An honest 13% say that they haven’t studied a Biblical languages and have no plans to. Fair enough.
- And finally, 3% say they’ve studied Aramaic. Truly my friends, you are the Jack Bauers of the theological world.
Chris just posted about the challenge of getting people to switch Bible versions. Taking off from that post, then, is our new poll: How long have you been reading your current Bible version? Or to word it slightly differently, when was the last time you switched Bible versions? (And I’m asking about the Bible you consider your “primary” go-to Bible version—I know all you Greek and Hebrew scholars probably have bookshelves weighed down with different Bible versions.)
Vote in the poll off to the right, and use the comment section below to tell us what Bible version you’re using right now, why you chose it, and how long you’ve been using it!
