Bible Translation Basics will help translators work with language
communities to determine the kind of Scripture product(s) that are
most relevant for them, given their abilities and preferences.
Scholars over the past thirty years have made significant advances
in understanding how human communication functions. Rather than
solely looking for meaning in texts alone, texts are now seen to
provide clues to hearers so that they can discover the speaker's
intended meaning. Hearers use other inputs as well, such as things
they already know and information from the speech environment, in
order to understand not only what the words of the text say, but
also what the speaker is communicating with those words. The
significant implications of this for Bible Translation are the
subject of this new book. Bible Translation Basics accomplishes two
things: 1) it expresses these developments in communication theory
at a basic level in non-technical language, and 2) it applies these
developments to the task of Bible translation in very practical
ways. The content of this book has been tried and tested around the
world, and will aid people with a secondary school education or
higher to understand how communication works and to apply those
insights to communicating Scripture to their audiences.
