The literary and theological advantages to reading the "good book" in its original Ecclesiastical Latin are far too numerous to list here. But having devoted two years of my life to reading the Vulgate straight through, Genesis to Revelation, has given me far more insight and depth of study than reading the verenacular versions ever could. There are no idioms or figures of speech through which to navigate, no protestant or evangelical spin (such as removing books they don't like) to circumvent, and best of all, no "lost in translation" issues to bog the reader down. This is a journey that all serious Christian devotees should take at least once in their lifetimes. So grab that old, tattered copy of "Wheelock's Latin," pour yourself a deep glass of brandy and prepare for the wildest ride of your life!
