A Few Days with the Confraternity Bible: The Interlude

Posted On July 19, 2018 By Marc2 Comments

I’ve been spending some quality time with the Confraternity Bible this week, reading through the Gospel of Mark. I’ll also be reading 2 Corinthians to make sure I have a sample of how the translation dealt with Paul’s letters. I think it’s useful to read a translation at length to Continue Reading
