Translating the New Testament

<DIV>Stanley Porter and Mark Boda here bring together a group of respected theologians to provide an up-to-date assessment of translation of the New Testament in terms of textual criticism translation theory and theology. <BR /><BR /> Each section includes theoretical essays on the interface of a given area with particular issues in translation followed by applications of the theory to a common passage -- the story of the rich man and Lazarus found in Luke 16:19-31. Advocates of different positions note the translational implications that follow from choosing a particular textual tradition or type over another. These differing perspectives allow for both theoretical diversity and concrete differences in the practice of translation.<BR /><BR /><I>Translating the New Testament</I> concludes with an overall assessment of the field of text criticism and translation studies.<BR /><BR /><B>Contributors:</B><BR /> Barbara Aland<BR /> Mark J.
