Born to Translate : The Life and Works of Barclay Moon Newman
Overview
THERE ARE MANY important jobs in this world. Some have extraordinary levels of pressure and responsibility associated with those roles, even to the point of delicately balancing life or death in performing the given task, for both themselves and that of others. But here, although perhaps not physically hazardous work, few jobs have the extraordinary pressure of a Bible translator, aptly handling the very word of God. It is just such a position that Barclay Newman found himself, leading a team of Biblical language scholars in their bold efforts to create the Contemporary English Version of the Holy Bible. His many years of study and experience in the field would be truly preparatory and absolutely essential, as well as his experience as a missionary and translator around the world in scores of different countries and cultures, as he embarked on creating a new and accessible translation of ancient scriptures that would enlighten and inspire today's reader. But could they get it right! A mistake could have eternal consequences in the soul of a man or woman.
