This volume brings together scholars to explore the challenges of
translating Christianity. Christianity has been the impulse behind
the creation of more dictionaries and grammars of the world's
languages than any other force in history. More people pray and
worship in more languages in Christianity than in any other
religion. It is a religion without a revealed language; a faith
characterized by 'the triumph of its translatability'. Christianity
is also a translated religion in a very different sense. Many of
its ritual practices have been predicated on the translation of
material objects, such as relics. Their movement in time and space
reveals shifting lines of power and influence in illuminating ways.
Translation can be understood not only linguistically and
physically but also in ecclesiastical and metaphorical terms, for
instance, in the handing on of authority from one place or person
to another, or the appropriation of rituals in different contexts.
