COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to give the average Bible reader a crystal-clear window into the incredibly complex process of Bible translation from the perspective of a career Bible translator with 40 years of translation experience. The course will consist of lectures and breakout group activities. The primary focus of the lectures will not be abstract, philosophical translation theory, but rather hundreds of compelling examples from various English Bible versions and from other languages. The breakout group activities will give the students a practical, step-by-step overview of the translation process and allow them to experience some of the challenges faced by Bible translators all around the world.
