DESCRIPTION
Every translation is contextual - how can you come to terms with that, understand the dynamics involved, and evaluate translations? In this course you learn to reflect on the contexts of authors, scribes, translators and readers and apply insights from contextual Bible reading to the practice of Bible translation. The course brings together the fields of contextual biblical interpretation and Bible translation and equips students to independent thinking and scholarship at the interface of these fields.
