Steve, again I ask: Who is this person you continue to quote and what are his credentials? I for one don't buy stock in a company without knowing who they are and something about their background and track record. --Hank | ||||||
2 | ESV opinion poll | Ps 119:105 | srbaegon | 33835 | ||
Hank My apologies for not identifying the source. His name is Wayne Leman. He and his wife Elena were first asked to begin translation work in the Cheyenne language back in 1975 (according to his web page http://www.geocities.com/bible_translation/personal.htm). I'm not sure of their formal relationships to translation organizations. They are mentioned as part of both Wycliffe Bible Translators and SIL International (formerly Summer Institute of Linguistics). The Lemans have written several books and articles concerning translation (esp. Cheyenne), but I have not found any reference to academic background. Steve |

Steve, I browsed the website and gather that Leman has done some work in translating the Bible into the Cheyenne language. Nevertheless, my departure from his view that the ESV is of poor literary quality stands firm. I should think it unlikely that he will garner much approbation for his view among people who know good literary quality when they see it. Thank you for providing the additional information, Steve. --Hank | ||||||
