Translating the New Testament

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. Each section includes theoretical essays on the interface of a given area with particular issues in translation, and applications of the theory to a common passage, Luke 16:19-31 (the story of the rich man and Lazarus). Advocates of different positions note the translational implications that follow from choosing a particular textual tradition or type over another. / Contributors: Barbara Aland, Mark J. Boda, Philip Comfort, Edith Humphrey, Luke Timothy Johnson, Richard Longenecker, Stanley E. Porter, Matthew Brook O'Donnell, Maurice A. Robinson, Elsa Tamez, Francis Watson, K. K. Yeo.

Stanley E. Porter is president, dean, and professor of new testament at McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario. Mark J. Boda is professor of Old Textament at McMaster Divinity College.
