Presentation & Conversation
The Nature of Belief: How Translation of Sacred Text Decides Meaning
Translation is never neutral, and it shapes more than words. In fact, it shapes the very nature of belief. Compare different English translations of sacred texts in small groups and how they have influenced understanding and belief across time, cultures, and communities. Participants will be challenged to rethink the meaning of well-known verses and how different meanings can reconstruct our thoughts.
A partnership between Congregation Beth-El Zedeck, Northminster Presbyterian Church, and JCC Indianapolis’s The Ann Katz Festival of Books & Arts. Part of the Spirit & Place Festival.
