In The Word, acclaimed Bible scholar John Barton explores how saints and scholars have negotiated the profound challenges of translating the Bible while remaining faithful to the original. In addition to considering questions of literal versus free translation, literary style, inclusive language, and more, Barton draws out scriptural translation's role at critical junctures in religious history. Far from a mere academic exercise, biblical translation has shaped how we answer faith's most enduring questions about the nature of God, the existence of the soul, and the possibility of salvation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Bible $x History. $x History. 630 00 $a Bible $x Translating. 630 00 $a Bible $x History. 650 7 $a RELIGION $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh. 941 $a 3 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020927.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230802010608.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230701010113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8EE2DAF017D411EEB984481F40ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
