Weaving together his formal training at Bible College and Seminary (so thankful some of this was at Grace), 15 years of front-line Bible translation work, and a quarter-of-a-century as a seminary professor, Bill Barrick makes a compelling case for his thesis that \u2018obedience of the Word is proportionate to understanding of the Word.\u2019 The volume is full of practical examples of how \u2018good translators take an interest in every aspect of life and culture,\u2019 as he makes his convincing case that \u2018the Bible\u2019s cultural, geographical, and historical details must be left intact.\u2019 The text emphasizes the need for accuracy and clarity in translation and a strong case is made for relying on the original biblical languages in translation work. Barrick concludes this book with an emphasis on prayer and the role of the Holy Spirit in Bible translation. What a way to finish!&nbsp;<em>Understanding Bible Translation&nbsp;<\/em>will be a valuable resource to Bible Colleges and Seminaries, along with local churches, as men and women come to better understand that \u2018Bible translation is a gospel-proclaiming, church-planting, church-guiding, and Christ-glorifying work.\u2019\u201d \u2013 Bill Katip (Ph.D., Michigan State University), President,&nbsp;Grace College and Seminary,&nbsp;Winona Lake, IN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">Available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kregel.com\/biblical-languages\/understanding-bible-translation\/\"><strong>Kregel<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/Understanding-Bible-Translation-Bringing-Contexts\/dp\/0825420253\/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=barrick%2C+understanding+bible+translation&amp;qid=1558125276&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-1-fkmrnull\"><strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a> (click on links).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cUnderstanding Bible Translation&nbsp;by Dr. William (Bill) Barrick reads like an autobiographical journey through 50 years of faithfulness to the centrality of Scriptures for evangelization and local church ministry.
