There has not been conducted much research in religious studies and
(linguistic) anthropology analysing Protestant missionary
linguistic translations. Contemporary Protestant missionary
linguists employ grammars, dictionaries, literacy campaigns, and
translations of the Bible (in particular the New Testament) in
order to convert local cultures. The North American institutions
SIL and Wycliffe Bible Translators (WBT) are one of the greatest
scientific-evangelical missionary enterprises in the world. The
ultimate objective is to translate the Bible to every language. The
author has undertaken systematic research, employing comparative
linguistic methodology and field interviews, for a
history-of-ideas/religions and epistemologies explication of
translated SIL missionary linguistic New Testaments and its
premeditated impact upon religions, languages, sociopolitical
institutions, and cultures. In addition to taking into account the
history of missionary linguistics in America and theological
principles of SIL/WBT, the author has examined the intended
cultural transformative effects of Bible translations upon
cognitive and linguistic systems. A theoretical analytic model of
conversion and translation has been put forward for comparative
research of religion, ideology, and knowledge systems.
