- These just arrived. I’ve spent half my life on this book, and it’s finally here. amzn.to/3O2llss
- Yikes. This is wrong on both what it says about the Greek and what it says about the Latin. And both terms basically function as renderings of the Hebrew word שוב in its prophetic sense, which means “return,” an idea that involves both heart and action.Wesley Huff explains to Joe Rogan why figures like Wycliffe, Tyndale, and Luther went to such great lengths to preserve the truth of Scripture and call for reform within the Catholic Church.
