How the Bible has been translated and why it matters.
The Bible is held to be both universal and specific, the source of fundamental truths inscribed in words that are exact and sacred. For much of the history of Judaism and almost the entirety of Christianity, however, believers have overwhelmingly understood scripture not in the languages in which it was first written but rather in their own—in translation.
This book examines how saints, scholars and interpreters from ancient times down to the present have produced versions of the Bible in the language of their day while remaining true to the original. It explains the challenges they negotiated, from minute textual ambiguities up to the sweep of style and stark differences in form and thought between the earliest writings and the latest, and it exposes the bearing these have on some of the most profound questions of faith: the nature of God, the existence of the soul and possibility of its salvation.
Reading dozens of renderings alongside their ancient Hebrew and Greek antecedents, John Barton traces the migration of biblical words and ideas across linguistic borders, illuminating original meanings as well as the ways they were recast. ‘Translators have been among the principal agents in mediating the Bible’s message,’ he writes, ‘even in shaping what that message is.’ At the separation of Christianity from Judaism and Protestantism from Catholicism, Barton demonstrates, vernacular versions did not only spring from fault lines in religious thinking but also inspired and moulded them. The product of a lifetime’s study of scripture, The Word itself reveals the central book of our culture anew—as it was written and as we know it.

The Bible: Never have so many written so much about so little.

I prefer Grimm’s Fairy Tales. At least they had the balls to admit they were made-up.

Great stuff, mr p. (And it even woke up the learned philosophers.)

Thank you. Appreciate your help with this!

Let’s eat children. Let’s eat, children. Punctuation matters. That is the problem with any translation. One simple mistake or even worse intentionally made change changes the entire nature of the statement.

Anyone eating kids is just right out of order. There’s no excuse for that carry on in this day & age.

I’m looking for a proper French to English translation of the original Asterix & Obelix comic book collection.
The fate of the world hinges on it. If so much as one tiny comma is out of place it could unleash Hell (social media + politics) upon the world.
This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
