The translator is awesome! I have complete confidence in her work.But how do you know it’s accurate in English? Excuse me for any doubts that I might have.
Not necessarily knocking the translator but ten translators will still produce ten different translations. I’ve differed many times with accepted translations of Latin and Polish.The translator is awesome! I have complete confidence in her work.
Sounds like you run into a dilemma everytime you go to buy a translation of a work of any sort. Unless someone reads Latin they will have to have a level of trust in a translator in any Patristic writing thats been translate. All i know is that Sarah is an excellent translator and very gifted, so much so that she can read the ancient manuscripts themselves. Many experts cannot translate without an edited text, but she can translate straIght from the hardest to read manscripts.Not necessarily knocking the translator but ten translators will still produce ten different translations.

I’m of the opinion that translations always lose something even if the translations are impressive. One can claim, “Hey, I just had Shakespeare translated into Chinese” but really? And does the ordinary man in the Chinese streets read it as Gospel truth as Anglos tend to with things that anything that is translated into English. I think they (in China) realize that if one truly wants to appreciate Shakespeare he’ll just have to learn the English of that period.Sounds like you run into a dilemma everytime you go to buy a translation of a work of any sort.
