Issues in Missiology, Volume III: Translation

Description

The third volume in Dr. Robert Patton’s comprehensive Issues in Missiology series focuses on Bible translation — one of the most theologically and practically significant challenges in world missions. Dr. Patton addresses the foundational question of what constitutes faithful Bible translation, examining the competing philosophies (formal equivalence vs. dynamic equivalence) and their implications for missionary work. He argues from Scripture that word-for-word translation that preserves the original-language text is both possible and necessary for planting genuine Biblical churches.
