   How well versed in other languages was Doc? I have the feeling he wasn't so.   
   OK, it seems he know Koine Greek. But, I can't remember him speaking in such a   
   manner that would lead one to believe he actually could speak it fluently. The   
   case for Hebrew    
   would seem even worse.  I think I remember him mentioning he read all of the   
   major biblical scholarly material. Most of the foundational scholarship would   
   have been in German. Sprechen Sie Deutsch. I'm not sure. From my own   
   experience in taking a    
   semester or two of a foreign languages one tries to mimic the spoken nature of   
   the language and not try to pronounce like a yankee in your own tongue.    
   Anyone can look up a foreign word and research it to death but that doesn't   
   mean you know the language    
   that well enough to be considered fluent in it. Anyone know what his actual   
   extensive language abilities were?
