MIKOTOBA: Studies in Japanese Bible Translation Vol. 1 ( Mikotoba: Seisho Honyaku no Kenkyū Dai 1 Go )
Shin Nihon Seisho Kankōkai
Why was this translation chosen? Is it the best reading? What is the best way to say it in modern Japanese? The translators of the New Japanese Bible (Shinkaiyaku) 2017 present their ongoing studies of the biblical text with the possibility of future revisions to the 2017 text. Five members compare various published translations of specific passages and tell why they chose what they did. Four go into detail on the Hebrew and Greek meanings while one, an expert in the Japanese language, tells why the Japanese expression was chosen over other possible expressions. The first of a series, one volume to be published each year. A5 size, 90 pp.
