From the supplier: Bible translation involves integrating the language and culture sets of the original documents, the readers and the people by which the Bible and the faith were mediated to the translator. One problem with translation involves the assumptions set by translators on translation purpose and on the degree of interpretative validity. Such translation theories must be separated from factors of culture, attitude, experience and education.
