The Bible was famously translated to English during the Reformation.
Previously (mix of Aramaic and Greek here, you can pick one for either, plus I haven’t included their epithets. Like how nowadays we’re known as Firstname Lastname, at the time you’d have a family name and if you were famous, an epithet like Timos of Athens)
I grew up in the UK and our education system (or at least the one I had) has Religious Education as part of it’s curriculum and under history we study the Reformation, Henry VIII, Martin Luther etc
Also as a teen I read some of Karen Armstrong’s books. The rest is just… lived experience and google.
Timótheos was the first bishop of Ephesus, which is now Selçuk, Turkey.
The Bible passage is allegedly a letter from St Paul to St Timótheos, although most scholars think it was written after Paul’s death.
Oh right, Timótheos. Calling him Timothy makes him sound very modern.
