Horrible Mispronunciations

The book is an excellent account of the early Church. The narrater however was poorly schooled on how to pronounce names. Even the fussiest Oxbridge classicists would find this distressing. The positive side is that it makes the listener pay close attention, thinking carefully about whom he is referring to.
