An In-Depth Look at Bible Translation .The concerns, issues, and
approaches .The history .The ins and outs of the translation task
With a reach that covers the entire globe, the Bible is the
best-selling, most earnestly studied book of all time. It has been
translated into well over 1,000 languages, from those of global
reach such as English, French, and Arabic, to a myriad of isolated
tribal tongues. Yet while most readers of the English Bible have a
favorite version, few understand how the different translations
came about, or why there are so many, or what determines whether a
particular translation is trustworthy. Written in tribute to one of
today s true translation luminaries, Dr. Ronald Youngblood, The
Challenge of Bible Translation will open your eyes to the
principles, the methods, the processes, and the intricacies of
translating the Bible into language that communicates clearly,
accurately, and powerfully to readers of many countries and
cultures. This remarkable volume marshals the contributions of
foremost translators and linguists. Never before has a single book
shed so much light on Bible translation in so accessible a fashion.
In three parts, this compendium gives scholars, students, and
interested Bible readers an unprecedented grasp of: 1. The Theory
of Bible Translation 2. The History of Bible Translation 3. The
Practice of Bible Translation The Challenge of Bible Translation
will give you a new respect for the diligence, knowledge, and care
required to produce a good translation. It will awaken you to the
enormous cost some have paid to bring the Bible to the world. And
it will deepen your understanding of and appreciation for the
priceless gift of God s written Word. Contributors Kenneth L.

Continuing a Gold Medallion Award-winning legacy, this completely
revised edition of The Expositor s Bible Commentary series puts
world-class biblical scholarship in your hands. Based on the
original twelve-volume set that has become a staple in college and
seminary libraries and pastors studies worldwide, this new
thirteen-volume edition marshals the most current evangelical
scholarship and resources. You ll find up-to-date information
grounded in the same unchanging commitment to the divine
inspiration, complete trustworthiness, and full authority of the
Bible. Of the fifty-six contributors, thirty of them are new.
Reflecting the Expositor s Bible Commentary international and
cross-denominational approach, they come from the United States,
Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand, and from a
broad diversity of churches, including Anglican, Baptist, Brethren,
Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, and Reformed. The Expositor s
Bible Commentary uses the complete New International Version for
its English text, but it also refers freely to other translations
and to the original languages. For each book of the Bible, the
thoroughly revised features consist of: A comprehensive
introduction A short and precise bibliography A detailed outline
Insightful exposition of passages and verses Overviews of sections
of Scripture to illumine the big picture Occasional reflections to
give more detail on important issues Notes on textual questions and
special problems, placed close to the text in question
Transliteration and translation of Hebrew and Greek words, enabling
readers to understand even the more technical notes A balanced and
respectful approach toward marked differences of opinion"
