This thread appears headed straight into the shoal waters of hermeneutics
and a discussion of theories of translation that are governed at least as
much by faith-perspectives and faith-commitments as by ways of
understanding the Greek text of the Bible. If it is to continue, I would
hope that people will keep the discussion focused on the Greek as much as
possible. The objection to interlinears, of course, is that hardly seem
likely to encourage learners to delve deeper into learning the original
languages.
