The Original Languages of the Bible (Ep 20)

Welcome back to Read, Do, & Tell podcast! *This episode was originally published on 5/7/26 as "This Reading Mama's Podcast." The podcast name changed in July, 2026 to "Read, Do, & Tell." In today's episode, we're focusing on something a bit more "heady": the original languages of the Bible. Amy and I think this is an important topic to know about, as it helps followers of Jesus understand where the Bible and the English translations come from. In this episode, we also discuss what Scripture says the Bible was recorded on (the materials used) as well as more about how we got our English translations. The visual timeline we created will hopefully help it make more sense. You can download a printable timeline from the Podcast+ Membership. Join: https://library.thisreadingmama.com/r...
