This is a useful and fascinating book. It is obviously crucial reading for anyone interested in the translation of religious text. * Francis Jones, Newcastle University, in The Translator Volume13, Number 2, 2007 * Every single contribution in this collection is a thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating read for anybody interested in or working with sacred texts, religion, or Translation Studies, and at the same time provides some consolation to practising translators struggling with the specific demands of translating sacred texts, showing them that they are not alone in their misery. * Marija Zlatnar Moe, University of Ljubljana, in Perspectives: Studies in Translatology 13:4 * A volume such as this, in which material is brought together from the disparate religious traditions of the world, is a welcome addition to the scholarship. * Charles G H *All prices
