#34 [06/05/2019]
Based in Port Jefferson Station, New York, Living Epistles Ministries has for more than two decades spread the gospel through the publishing and distribution of various Christian literature. Living Epistles Ministries has also published numerous books including ebooks in languages such as Spanish.
Christian literature translation is an important function for any ministry keen on spreading the word of God across the globe. Considering the world's diverse cultures and languages, translation of biblical writings allows people of other languages to read and understand the word of God. The Bible has numerous passages that emphasize the need to evangelize the gospel in different languages. Thanks to local translations of the Bible and other Christian material, believers across the world irrespective of their language are able to learn about the word of God.
Some of the major tips in translating gospel texts include selecting and studying a small passage, which is used for practicing the new language. Additionally, consistently practicing with a trusted friend who is familiar in the target language allows one to edit and perfect the work, thereby motivating translators. During these sessions, translating text becomes easier as it promotes dialogue, expression, and cultural insights, all of which are helpful when translating Christian literature or content.
