RebeccaI understand now how the ancient world saw literacy differently- how an educated person might read well but still hire a scribe to do the writing.
Because I started doing some of this Greek practice by hand, and... I feel four years old again.
Devesh 💠@WordyAnchorite do you know greek?
@Dev08 No, I'm just starting to learn Biblical Greek. My reading is way ahead of my writing, though.
@WordyAnchorite biblical greek is different from original?
@Dev08 Every language is different across time and space.
The Greek used in the Bible (Koine Greek) is a few centuries older than classical Greek. It's like the difference between Shakespeare's English and modern English.
