I am looking for a video by Craig Evans on the difficulty of translating the Greek New Testament. I remember watching this over 10 years ago but cannot find it.
Any help is appreciated!

I can’t say this is the video you are referring to but it is worth a look to see if it is the one.
Thank you - but the one I have been looking for talks about the difficulty in actually translating the New Testament greek.
I thought it was with Craig Evans but I could be wrong about that.
Have a blessed day! -Denis
Is this it? He discusses literal and dynamic translation philosophies after covering Greek manipscripts and some textual issues. A bit more than 10 years ago.
Thank you Jacob,
The one I am trying to find is a more "professionally" done video. I vaguely remember a person making a statement something like this in it … "to translate a phrase like Joe loves Mary - can be made from as many as 40 different ways in the Greek".
I am so sorry for taking everyone's time - I wish I had a better memory - but at 73 years old - that is my excuse!
Thank you all! -Denis Thompson
Dan Wallace makes the argument about the number of ways one can translate Joe loves Mary. He has it not as 40 eats but in the hundreds of ways.
Very good - now how do i find Mr. Wallace's video and/or book?

Is there anything on Logos that would give me pronunciation of Hebrew words? Transliteration is ok but an actual voice recording or such would be better

Recently when I tried to report typos in the books (especially the Bible), I found that when I select several words, right click and when a menu appears, the Report Typos button at the bottom of the menu is gone? Both on Widows and Mac. There's no such an option any more😮. Am I understanding it correct?🤔Thanks.
We know that the Faithlife Chinese Union Version Bible contains a lot of typos and missing words which concerns and frustrates me a lot. For years these errors are not properly addressed despite users' (including my) reports. Therefore, I am considering to abandon it. The resource I refer to is:…
When copying Scripture passages, is there a setting that would allow me to have verse numbers superscripted automatically?
