C. S. Lewis once wrote a preface to a translation of the Bible, "Modern Translations of the Bible" (1947). Here Lewis explains a tenant of reformation theology about scripture, that there ought to be translations in the vernacular of the day so that all may "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest" what the Holy Spirit has inspired in scripture. This essay explores theology around Bible translation, inspiration, and interpretation.
We also dip into what Lewis wrote elsewhere about good translation and interpretation in the essays:
"A Lectionary of Christian Prose from the Second Century to the Twentieth Century",
"Odysseus sails again: The Odyssey", and
"The Literary Impact of the Authorized Version"
These can be found in "Image and Imagination," and "Selected Literary Essays"
