In his detailed and thought-provoking work, Philip Goodwin conducts
a thorough analysis of the challenges facing the Biblical
translator, with particular focus on the problematic dominance of
the King James Version of the Bible in our imaginations - a
dominance which has had a deleterious effect upon the accuracy and
originality of the translator's work. Goodwin considers the first
two chapters of the Lukan narratives in depth, comparing and
contrasting a breadth of widely disparate translations and drawing
on a rich body of Biblical scholarship to support his thesis. A
wide-ranging discussion of other linguistic issues is also
conducted, touching on such vital matters as incorporating the
contextual implications of the original text, and the attempt to
challenge the reader's pre-existing encyclopaedic knowledge.
Goodwin evolves a fresh and comprehensive answer to the
difficulties of the translator's task, and concludes by providing
his own original and charming translation of the first two chapters
of Luke's Gospel. 'Translating the English Bible' provides a
fascinating insight into the processes of translation and will
interest anyone seeking accuracy and fidelity to the Scriptural
message. It will also enlighten readers seeking a challenging
translation of Luke that casts off the shackles of the 'Holy
Marriage' tradition of Biblical translation.
