"Through history, motives for translating holy texts have been many and various, ranging from the evangelical to the curious, the subversive to the celebratory. But what exactly is it that defines a text as holy? Is the translation of holy texts permitted? And what is it about that holiness that makes translation difficult or even impossible?" "This volume sets out to investigate these questions by considering both the wider picture of holy texts in translation and specific studies of individual cases. Translation theories from east and west provide the methodological framework upon which the experts base their analyses. The range of texts covered is ambitious: all the major religions are represented in an attempt to provide new perspectives on perhaps the most challenging of translation issues."--BOOK JACKET.
