Bible Translation
Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes
Call For Papers: The Bible Translation Section will be celebrating the legacy of Dr. Eugene Nida, the great pioneer of the discipline of modern Bible translation, who passed away on August 25, 2011, at the age of 96. The section will therefore host a symposium, consisting of a panel of distinguished speakers, who will each reflect on different aspects of his work, subsequent developments and the future of the interdisciplinary field of Bible translation studies.
In addition, an open session will be held, for which papers are solicited on any part of Nida’s oeuvre, whether it be in the area of Biblical Studies, Translation Studies, Text Criticism, Linguistics, or Anthropology. Given the theme of the symposium, papers interacting critically with his work, from the perspective of the Bible translation praxis of concrete languages or language groups, will be given preference, in this adjacent session. The specific impact of Nida’s legacy on individual translations, language policy, exegetical or translational choices on a local or more global scale, are thus, especially welcome, as well as, more innovative approaches that, in one way or the other, are based on that same legacy.
