Quick question. How do you pronounce the New Testament name Didymus, John 20:24? My dad has a reading coming up Sunday and neither of us knows how to pronounce the name.
I'm guessing (hahahahaha!) that it's DID - ih - muss.
Thanks for your elucidation.
Good Book regards,

Sounds about right to me. But, in any case, as long as your dad says it with authority and conviction, most everybody will believe he's saying it correctly.
"Oh, so that's how you pronounce it!"

I've got a pair of epididymides, sadly atrophic now. Never heard of Didymus. But without the 'epi' he could not have been "on the ball".

Whether it's DID-ih-mus or did-EYE-mus doesn't make a vas deferens to most people.

Dear Wordwind: You will get much better advice on how to pronounce this name than poor Moss can ever provide (in a month full of Sunday readings), but, pray tell, Wordwind, who is Didymus and why should we remember him?

Dear Moss,
I'm taking a blind stab and will look it up in the scripture, but I think Didymus is one of the Twelve. I'll come back later and let you know whether my failing memory is correct this time!
Good Book regards,

Didymus is one of the Twelve.
Not as Didymus.. but he might have had two name, (St Peter was Simon Peter, and called Peter to distingish him for St Simon.) just as there were 2 James, (one being the lessor son of(????)senior moment-- of Zebedi?)
i can't name all twelve all the top of my head--I bet WOW could!-- but i'd recognize the names and didymus isn't one of them.

FWIW: I can't find the name Didymus in the passage listed anywhere.
