I have to apologize. You are right. I made a rookie mistake and didn't notice that my search engine was saying "verses" instead of "times." Having said that, your Christological error is much, much worse. All orthodox churches have held to the hypostatic union doctrine of Christ for over 1600...

Count again. I did. Still 16.:Biggrin

This has to be the most bizarre thread ever. Does no one here know the doctrine of the hypostatic union, agreed on over 1600 years ago by all orthodox theologians? Don't look at me; I don't plan to post beyond this. Don't have time. I'll just keep lurking and shaking my head. P.S. Gennao...

Along the lines of sociolinguistics, the definition of "taboo word" is important. It is “a word known to speakers but avoided in some, most, or all forms or contexts of speech, for reasons of religion, decorum, politeness, etc.” (Matthews, p. 400). It is shocking to me to hear taboo words...

Sure it is. "Lord's Day" meant "first day of the week." It didn't mean Saturday, the last day of the week, it meant the first day, right there in the book of Revelation. What more do you need??? The great Greek scholar A. T. Robertson wrote, "On the Lord’s Day (en tēi kuriakēi hēmerāi)...

There is such a thing as a Seventh Day Baptist: Seventh Day Baptist General Conference :)

I'm at our seminary retreat for this school year. Some of the kids were playing some rowdy game at the lodge, so I said, "Against my better judgment, I'm going to my cabin now...." So, with nothing much else to do before I hit the sack in this very nice cabin, I thought I'd add more definitions...

I will add to the second quote by Crystal that while what he says as a secular translator is true, I believe as a Bible translator that God's Truth can be successfully translated, even if as he says that rhythm, puns, etc. cannot be perfectly rendered.

Good quotes, linking translation and equivalence, both.

From the man himself here are relevant definitions in the glossary of The Theory and Practice of Translation, by Eugene Nida and Charles Taber (1969, 1982): "receptor: person receiving or intended to receive a message" (p. 205). "receptor language: the language into which a message is...

No problem. Perhaps you'll contribute to the thread, though. It's meant to be non controversial, simply listing terms and their meanings.

Oops, okay, I goofed. It was "receptor" rather than "reader response." Mea culpa. Let's see if I can get it right. Toward a Science of Translating was 1964 according to the copyright page, and it did not have "receptor" in its index. Maybe it did somewhere in the book, but I have not found it...

The word "render" with the cognate "rendering" refers to a brief translation of just a word or sentence. Example: "How did you render the Greek ekklesia in your New Testament translation?"

A good post overall, though not a succinct definition (though I did not say "succinct"!). There is the small item that in a couple or two places you used a different form of the word to define the word, something lexicographers avoid. Example: "translated" as part of your definition of...

Anyone want to take a stab at "equivalence," the most difficult translation term of all? Shuttleworth and Cowie write, "The issues lurking behind the term are indeed complex and the concept of equivalence has consequently been a matter of some controversy; Hermans, for example, has described it...

Here is my own definition of Bible translation. Bible translation is the faithful rendering of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek source texts of God’s verbally inspired Word into another language. On occasion, when the translator has little or no knowledge of the original languages, Bible...

I've been challenged today on my assertion that the translation term "reader response" (I think it was) dates back to Eugene Nida and no further. So, I await with baited, oops, bated Baptist breath for Jerome and Anthony to correct me, since both objected to that. In the meantime, I thought I'd...

Google got it right. :) Sorry about the side trail. I got caught up in it! My position is Byzantine priority, and I mostly use the Byzantine Textform Greek NT edited by Maurice Robinson and William Pierpont. The Byzantine Solid Rock Greek New Testament is also very good. I translated into...

Okay, then, please correct me. Here is one of my sources. "Receptor Language Defined by Nida & Taber [as per my post--JoJ] as 'the language into which a message is translated from the original or source language....' In other words, as regards referential meaning the term receptor language is...

Welcome to the Baptist Board and my thread. Here is the current website of the DBS: dean burgon society. As you can see, there is very little content on the website, and nothing about their annual meeting, etc. So the DBS is pretty much defunct. I'm sure Logos 1560 knows much more than I do...
