Comments on: Greek Blog Titles and Missing Tag Line http://agaphseis.wordpress.com/2008/01/13/greek-blog-titles-and-missing-tag-line/ ΑΓΑΠΗΣΕΙΣ is Greek for 'you will love'. This blog is devoted to the intersection of biblical exegesis, linguistics, and translation. It is offered as a spiritual discipline of the mind in order to love God and love others.

For instance: KYPIOC IHCOYC XPICTOC for Κυριος Ιησους Χριστος. This substitutes a Y for an upsilon, a P for a rho and a C for a sigma (making it an uncial/lunate sigma). This means that one can build blog titles, create URLs and heck, even make vanity license plates with Greek! I've uploaded the file with all the words <a href="http://oldinthenew.org/pdf/greek_words_in_uncial-latin_letters.txt" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

I was always wanting to name one of our children Zephaniah and call him Zeph or Zephyr for short. And then there's the connection to wind and Spirit. But my wife never went for the name until our third pregnancy, and we lost that baby before he/she was born. So maybe I'll meet my little Zephaniah in heaven and have to tell him that I was using his name online! Michael,

Ahhh, terminology. Mike,

On your reading list, you listed Longenecker's book under hermeneutics. I was thinking more along the lines of interpretive method, of which in some sense, linguistics could be viewed as a subset (i.e. Thiselton's essay on semantics in I. Howard Marshall's classic <i>New Testament Interpretation</i>. Generally, I think of hermeneutics in three ways: Broader philosophical terms (such as the question of meaning, authorial intent, philosophy of language kind of thing), more practical terms such as methodology (including but not limited to Discourse Analysis or the various forms of criticisms (historical, literary and the like), and the applicational result of interpretation as well (though I prefer to think in terms of theology, especially Biblical theology).

You can call me 'zephyr'. Of course, when I switched over to Wordpress from Blogger, 'zephyr' was already taken, so my name here is 'bzephyr'. I see that you're also in the category of blogs with a Greek title. Michael,

I have a feeling from other posts of yours, that we have those in common too. Don’t forget hermeneutics and linguistics. I have a feeling from other posts of yours, that we have those in common too.
