Publisher's Synopsis
In our technological age, Fidelity and Translation discusses new ways to communicate and experience God in the text of Scripture, while remaining faithful to the biblical message. These essays suggest ways to critically evaluate, assess, and use new media to communicate Scripture faithfully. The first section of the book introduces the question of new media translation, and how contemporary media has shaped modern translations of Scripture. The second section considers the oral, visual, and performative natures of the biblical narrative. The third section gives a theoretical overview of translation from the perspectives of communication study and semiotic philosophy. Involving the interpretive process, the authority of a written text, the role of functional equivalence, and the addressing of an audience, this collection of essays is completely relevant!
