"God-Hero?" What translation is that?
From the Douay-Rheims...
For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.
Stu asked: ""God-Hero?" What translation is that?"
*************
It's the New American Bible, of course...
It's a wonderful passage, isn't it? I love Isaiah.
