Songs as a method for internalizing Greek

One of the things I've been involved in over the last several years has been to translate Praise and Worship songs, Children's song, and many secular songs into Koine Greek. Why would I do this?

Re: Best online Septuagint?

The best list of Septuagint resources, including links to online texts is the website "The Septuagint Online" by Joel Kalvesmaki which can be found at http://www.kalvesmaki.com/Index.htm . Make sure to check this site out. When I view the LXX text on my Android phone, I find that sites whi...
