Fifteen whole precious days to learn how to pretend to know Greek.  
Juvenal's question is à propos: Who will shepherd the shepherds  
themselves? It seems to me that it would make as much sense -- or  
more-- to spend the fifteen days doing a serious comparative study of  
the major English versions of the NT.
