Was Jesus a Word-for-Word Translator? & More Interesting Questions with Dave Brunn - part 2

As we continue our interview with Dave Brunn, translation consultant and author of One Bible, Many Versions, we’re going to put the final nail in the coffin of the idea that translations can be literally word-for-word. We’re also going to hear how translating into languages that aren’t Indoeuropean shatters the notion of word-for-word equivalence even further, which we’ll see is something not even Jesus himself seemed to see as the ideal. Finally, Dave will share a way forward for all of us in the English-speaking world, away from the arguments over translation, towards unity, and into a deeper experience of God’s Word. 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.
