“Exegetically Speaking” is a weekly podcast of the friends and faculty of Wheaton College, IL and The Lanier Theological Library. Hosted by Dr. David Capes, it features language experts who discuss the importance of learning the biblical languages—Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek—and show how reading the Bible in the original languages “pays off.” Each podcast lasts between seven and eleven minutes and covers a different topic for those who want to read the Bible for all it is worth.

If you're interested in going deeper, learn more about Wheaton's undergraduate degree in Classical Languages (Greek, Hebrew, and Latin) and our MA in Biblical Exegesis. 

You can hear Exegetically Speaking on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. If you have questions or comments, please contact us at exegetically.speaking@wheaton.edu. And keep listening.

Translating Hebrews 2, with Douglas Moo: Hebrews 2:5-9

Mar 14, 2022

Dr. Douglas Moo is Kenneth T. Wessner Professor of New Testament in Wheaton College Graduate School. He is known for his many commentaries on NT books, especially Galatians and Romans, among a wide array of other publications. Currently, he is writing a commentary on Hebrews. For years he has led the Committee on Bible Translation (the group of scholars charged with revising the text of the NIV). In this conversation about the exposition of Psalm 8 in Hebrews 2, he explains the difficulties scholars have in translating language that can be taken as a reference to the man, Jesus, and/or humankind.
