I put up a post a number of months ago on my “Translator’s Page” about the great Eskimo hoax. I hope I’ve done my part as a linguist to dispell this false story from our conversations, but in case I haven’t quite accomplished that, I would encourage you to read this article: pullum-eskimo-vocabhoax1.
On a personal note… I have only two weeks left up here, and one more weekend. This weekend I look forward to visiting Greg Linscott and his family in Marshall, MN, where he is pastoring a small church. I enjoyed getting to know the Linscotts when they were in Grand Rapids during a short period of transition from one ministry to another.
Hi Troy,
hope you had a delightful Lord’s day in MN…I was wondering, what about all the nuances that are claimed about the different meanings/interpretations for the various Gk words used for “love” in the NT? Is there any veracity to those claims? Because they seem to be made completely separate of context.
