Toward a Science of Translating: With Special Reference to Principles and Procedures Involved in Bible Translating

Rate this book
Written by a linguist and anthropologist with 40 years' experience in the field of language and religion, this work describes the major components of translating, setting the translating into the context of historical changes in principles and procedures over the last two centuries. With an emphasis on texts being understood within their cultural contexts, one of the reasons for continuing relevance of this book is the broad number of illustrative examples taken from field experience of translators in America, Africa, Europe and Asia.

This is a fantastic book. Though it is technical at points, I would recommend that all pastors and students of the Word read it. I think this would go a long way in correcting some of the misconceptions and incorrect statements often heard from the pulpit about "what the Greek really says." I also highly recommend it for all missionaries or those involved in learning another language.

Challenging at start, but good afterwards.
