Translating The Message (Revised)

A complete revision of the book that revolutionized how the world views Christian mission.

Working with new insights on the influence that local translations of Christian scriptures and catechisms into African languages had on cultural self-understanding, social awakening, religious renewal, reciprocity in mission, process, Sanneh shows that mission and translation were and continue to be integral parts of cultural renewal in the face of the relentless onslaught of imperialism in its classic and contemporary forms. Also new to this edition are illustrations and new tables of translation.
