{"product_id":"concepts-of-conversion-lars-kirkhusmo-pharo-9783110499889","title":"Concepts of Conversion: The Politics of Missionary Scriptural Translations","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere has not been conducted much research in religious studies and (linguistic) anthropology analysing Protestant missionary linguistic translations. Contemporary Protestant missionary linguists employ grammars, dictionaries, literacy campaigns, and translations of the Bible (in particular the New Testament) in order to convert local cultures. The North American institutions SIL and Wycliffe Bible Translators (WBT) are one of the greatest scientific-evangelical missionary enterprises in the world. The ultimate objective is to translate the Bible to every language. The author has undertaken systematic research, employing comparative linguistic methodology and field interviews, for a history-of-ideas\/religions and epistemologies explication of translated SIL missionary linguistic New Testaments and its premeditated impact upon religions, languages, sociopolitical institutions, and cultures. In addition to taking into account the history of missionary linguistics in America and theological principles of SIL\/WBT, the author has examined the intended cultural transformative effects of Bible translations upon cognitive and linguistic systems. A theoretical analytic model of conversion and translation has been put forward for comparative research of religion, ideology, and knowledge systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Kirkhusmo Pharo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110499886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110499889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Lars Kirkhusmo Pharo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089077448959,"sku":"9783110499889","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05075e7b-b446-489c-a064-895e5a0fb7d6.jpg?v=1769108069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/concepts-of-conversion-lars-kirkhusmo-pharo-9783110499889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
