Translating Christ: The Memoirs of Herman Peter Aschmann, Wycliffe Bible Translator

by Hugh Steven

Told through private conversations and personal correspondence between Herman Aschmann and the author, with additional insight from Aschmann's family and friends, Translating Christ pieces together the life of Herman Aschmann, Wycliffe Bible translator, and his wife as they lived and worked among the Totonac people of Mexico. Aschmann's abundance of physical and intellectual energy, linked with a passionate curiosity and empathetic concern for the language and culture of the Totonac people, enabled him to translate three distinct Totonac New Testaments. His became the foundation for the remarkable growth of the Totonac church in Mexico.
