Sillywilly, don't you know, Jesus spoke English!
Here is a quote from http://wordsmith.org/awad/archives/0805:
| Quote: |
In the 1920s, while barring the teaching of foreign languages, Texas
governor Miriam "Ma" Ferguson picked up a Bible and famously declared,
"If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for Texas."
The governor could be excused for not knowing that what she held in her
hand was a translation, but not for mixing state and religion. But here
we'll focus on the former.
If anything, she unknowingly presented an argument for better teaching of
history and geography. There was no language called English at the time of
Jesus, nor was the Bible written in English. The books making up the text
of the Bible were written in various languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek).
So much for mandating monolingualism!
The text of the Bible encompasses a variety of genres: prose and poetry,
letters and songs, acrostics and puns, prophecy and beyond. The Bible is
also a rich source of metaphors many of which have become part of the
language. This week we've picked five such biblical allusions.
