Two sources (on this site) of related material re. Bible Translation (philosophy of translation, etc.)
Inspiration and Translation. This is a paper that I presented at a conference Nov. 2004. It is partly a response to arguments (e.g., by Ryken) that a belief in verbal inspiration requires a formal equivalent translation theory. There is also a brief interview (.pdf v. 6) on the same subject with the editor of one of our institutional publications (Paraklesis). Its purpose is not technical argument, but is a popular level discussion. The published article (March 2005) is only about 500 words. The version posted here is the "uncut" interview of about 1,500 words. A revised version of the larger paper was published in Detroit Baptist Seminary Journal (v. 11, 2006), pdf copy.
