The Word

How We Translate the Bible – and Why it Matters

John Barton
Readers most often engage with the Bible in their own vernacular rather than its original ancient languages, yet there can be no definitive translation and scholars down the ages have debated how best to meet this profound challenge. Barton surveys the history of scriptural translation, analyses a range of approaches, including literalism, paraphrase and the use of inclusive language, and highlights translators’ critical role at Christianity’s most epochal moments.
