Two Pieces of Podcast News

By Mark Ward

  1. I recently talked to Isaac Dagneau of Back to the Bible Canada’s InDoubt podcast about English Bible Translations. Give a listen!
  2. I’d like to ask something I never have: would some of you, blog audience, be willing to pray just once for me as I go on another podcast this week? I’ll be on John McWhorter’s Lexicon Valley Friday morning (release date is later) to talk about my new book, Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible. John is a hero of mine, the best popularizer I know in any field, and a public intellectual in his spare time. He’s also not a believer in Christ, and I am praying for wisdom and discretion, because it is possible/likely that I will have to explain briefly why my book was necessary: namely because of disagreements among Christian brothers. I want to obey 1 Corinthians 6:1–8 and focus on the nerdy linguistics stuff; I don’t want to throw any fellow believers under any buses. I won’t do it.
