The format of the new The Bible in the 21st Century series reflects an international dialogue between experts and graduate students. In this book, experts on Bible translations present essays on the practices of translating the Bible for the present and the future, through Christian and Jewish approaches, in Western Europe and North America as well as in the former Eastern Bloc and in Africa. Each paper is paired with a response. The international contributors here include Adele Berlin, John Rogerson, Robert Carroll, Mary Phil Korsak, Everett Fox, Jeremy Punt and Athalya Brenner, and the debate is prefaced with an introduction by the Editors.
"...readers are given invaluable insight into some of the major issues facing Bible translation these days as well as a fine introduction into some of the translators themselves." -Leonard J. Greenspoon, Creighton University
"Its occasion was a new translation of the Bible into Dutch, but the principles apply to translation work everywhere...A most useful 11-page index will be especially welcomed by Bible collectors." - Daniel W. Decker, Bible Editions and Versions, July - September 2008 -- Daniel W. Decker
