Translating the Bible, Lecture with Nate Ramsayer (1)

Join biblical scholar and archaeologist Nate Ramsayer as he introduces to members of the Jenks community many of the issues faced by experts when attempting to create a smooth translation of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) into English. A surprising amount of the Bible you read is the product of scholars making their best guesses of what it means—come find out how they navigate this complex process! This will be something of a teaser for a multi-part series Nate will teach at The Jenks in Fall 2025 titled How the Bible Became a Book.
