Principles and Practices of Bible Translation

Abstract

Professor Brug explains, “The purpose of this paper is to suggest and illustrate some principles or “rules” to guide translators as they carry the Word of God from the original languages into modern versions in different languages. These principles can also guide us in evaluating existing Bible translations.” Brug sets this “paper” up in a format that is useful not just for individuals, but also for small-groups that wish to study the principles behind Bible translation.
