The Bible in Sign Language - the reality, the need, the challenges, part 1

For a long time I’ve been wanting to do a podcast on something that’s not on a lot of people’s minds when they think of Bible translation: translation for the deaf. Just as some communities are served best by an oral translation, others are served better by a visual translation. And this is the perfect time to talk about this because, as of the fall of 2020, we’re celebrating the completion of the first full Bible produced in sign language: the American Sign Language Bible. A big thanks to Bob Van Zyl for joining us in this episode. DeafBible.com One of the images Bob mentioned from Ephesians my books | twitter | music | Hebrew | academic articles | facebook

It's been said that people don't want to know: 1) how sausages are made, 2) how bibles are translated. In this podcast we bravely talk about the latter, go deep into biblical studies, and seek to treasure and understand the Bible together. It's for people who want to get nerdy about Scripture and for those who want to understand how their translations came to be. Everything from history to Hebrew, we're on a quest to learn more and make beautiful translations of God's Word. We believe the Bible is a unified, God-breathed, God-centered, hope-giving book, sweeter than honey, pointing to Jesus.
