Written with the student and interested public in mind, Truth in
Translation aims to explain what is involved and what is at stake
in Bible translation. It begins with brief treatments of the
background to the Bible and its translation, the various approaches
to translation, and the specific origins of nine translation
versions in wide use in the English-speaking world today. It then
proceeds to compare those versions on nine points of translation,
ranging from individual terms, to difficult passages, to whole
categories of grammar. The book serves to inform readers of the
forces at work shaping the meaning of the Bible, to help in their
selection of Bible translations, and to act as a critical catalyst
for the improvement of Bible translations through more careful
attention to the risk of bias in the translation process.
