<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>This short book offers essential translation principles through which readers can evaluate and compare contemporary Bible translations.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Of the many Bible translations available today, are some better than others? If so, what criteria can we use to determine what makes a good translation? Leland Ryken introduces readers to the central issues in this debate and presents several reasons why essentially literal-word-for-word-translations are superior to dynamic equivalent-thought-for-thought-translations.</p> <p>You don't have to be a Bible scholar to recognize the need for a quality Bible translation. We all want to know that the Bible we read, study, and memorize is faithful to the original. Dr. Ryken tackles this issue and breaks it down in this concise, logical, and straightforward book, giving readers a valuable tool for selecting a Bible translation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Leland Ryken</strong> (PhD, University of Oregon) served as professor of English at Wheaton College for nearly fifty years. He has authored or edited over fifty books, including <em>The Word of God in English</em> and <em>A Complete Handbook of Literary Forms in the Bible</em>. He is a frequent speaker at the Evangelical Theological Society's annual meetings and served as literary stylist for the English Standard Version Bible.</p>
