Stories Of Translation
Some decades ago the prospect of reaching the entire world with the
gospel appeared very dim indeed. In a world population that was
virtually exploding with growth, how could Christians begin to reach the
billions of fellow humans? Then missionaries began mastering the
multiplied languages on earth, placing the Bible on paper, making
recordings of the gospel, and beaming the Word of God out on radio and
television waves. A portion of the Bible was translated painstakingly
into over a thousand languages. The entire Bible was translated into
several hundred. There was reason to be hopeful. Missionaries taught
nationals how to plant churches. Then nationals started planting
churches, and churches begat churches . . . Bible translators had and
continue to play a crucial role in the mission of reaching every people
with the gospel, and this book describes how. Follow them into the
fascinating, exciting world of Bible translation.
