Events > 2011 > 06 > 10 > Conference on Bible Translations and Human Dignity
Friday, 10 June 2011 - Sunday, 12 June 2011
Location: Room 203, EDEN Building, Hope Park Campus, Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool, United Kingdom
Organisation: Andrew Walls Centre for the Study of African and Asian Christianity
Topic: Bible
Details:
The Bible is still the most sold and widely used of all scriptures. It is also one of the most abused scriptures. It transforms the lives of countless individuals and societies by liberating them to a fuller life and imparting in them a deep sense of dignity and worth. Yet, history also tells us how military conquerors, politicians and traders have abused it to expand their self-interests. The Bible is feared because it exposes the viciousness of human selfishness. It condemns anything that harms lives and human flourishing. Nor does it offer cheap solutions to the complex problems that face us today. Taking the 400th anniversary of the King James Version (1611) and 45th anniversary of the Jerusalem Bible (1966) this conference provides opportunities to ask deep questions about the nature, relevance and impact of the Bible on peoples and their societies in different parts of our world.
This conference is open to all interested persons, especially to the members to various Bible Societies, mission organizations, faith communities, voluntary agencies, staff and students of various university departments.
