This book offers a broad-based, contemporary perspective on Bible
translation in terms of academic areas foundational to the
endeavor: translation studies, communication theory, linguistics,
cultural studies, biblical studies and literary and rhetorical
studies. The discussion of each area is geared towards
non-specialists, to introduce them to notions, trends and tools
that can contribute to their understanding of translation. The
Bible translator is encouraged to appreciate various approaches to
translation in view of the wide variety of communicative,
organizational and sociocultural situations in which translation
occurs. However, literary representation of the Scriptures receives
special attention since it has been neglected in earlier,
influential works on Bible translation. In addition to useful
introductory and concluding sections, the book consists of six
chapters: Scripture Translation in the Era of Translation Studies;
Translation and Communication; The Role of Culture in
Communication; Advances in Linguistic Theory and their Relavance to
Translation; Biblical Studies and Bible Translation; and A Lterary
Approach to Biblical Text Analysis and Translation. The authors are
translation consultants for the United Bible Societies. They have
worked with translation projects in various media and in languages
ranging from ones of a few hundred speakers to international ones,
in Africa, the Americas and Asia.
