ABSTRACT

In the review that follows, I present a selective content summary of the sequence of chapters found in this book, accompanied by my critical comments and additions from the specific perspective of Bible translating. "Translation Studies " is a growing, interdisciplinary field, and therefore, it is important for Bible scholars to be aware of the main "theories and applications" that are popular nowadays. This is because the different viewpoints expressed concern not only the numerous Bible translations that are available in English and other languages, but they also relate, in varying degrees, to distinct hermeneutical approaches to the Scriptures.

1 Jeremy Munday, Introducing Translation Studies: Theories and Applications, (2nd ed.; London, New York: Routledge, 2008), xv + 236 pp.; Price: US$40.00 (Amazon); Paperback: ISBN10: 0-415-39693-x. The third edition of this book has just been published (2012), but an online survey revealed the text to be virtually the same as that of the second edition, except that the focus of the final chapter (11) has been changed from "New Directions from the New Media" to "Translation Studies as an Interdiscipline." In any case, the publication of this third edition gives a general indication of the popularity and influence of this book in the field of translation studies.
