Tony Cooke interviews Keith Trump about Biblical Greek and Bible Resources

Unless you are expert in one of the biblical languages, you may have felt the tension.
- How on earth is that word really pronounced?
- What if there's someone in the congregation who really knows the Greek language and
my definition of a word isn't exactly right?
- Will people really benefit if I refer to the Greek, or am I secretly trying to impress
people?
- What are some basic steps I can take to improve my understanding and use of biblical
languages?

A long-time friend, Keith Trump is expert in Greek and Hebrew, and in this interview, he shares
many practical and helpful tips for those of us who are not students of the biblical languages.
Included in this interview is a discussion on typical mistakes preachers make when referring to
the Greek and Hebrew.
