There are approximately 230 names in Gospels and guess how many are Jewish? 200! How were all those Hebrew and Aramaic names actually pronounced and what do they mean? Let's go through the Glossary of Names in the back of the DHE and I'll teach you how to say all these proper names the proper way. If you want to see my quirky side you'll definitely see it come out full force in this conversation, along with my immature sense of humour and random personal stories I wasn't planning on telling. (And in case you're wondering why we say there are "approximately" 230 names, it depends how you're counting. For instance: the Old Testament Patriarch Judah, the author of Jude, the province of Judea, and the traitor Judas are all the same Hebrew name - Yehudah. Does that count as one name or four?)
