Description
Faithful Renderings reads translation history through the lens of Jewishâ?"Christian difference and, conversely, views Jewishâ?"Christian difference as an effect of translation. Subjecting translation to a theological-political analysis, Seidman asks how the charged Jewishâ?"Christian relationshipâ?"and more particularly the dependence of Christianity on the texts and translations of a rival religionâ?"has haunted the theory and practice of translation in the West.A Bringing together central issues in translation studies with episodes in Jewishâ?"Christian history, Naomi Seidman considers a range of texts, from the Bible to Elie Wieselâ?Ts Night, delving into such controversies as the accuracy of various Bible translations, the medieval use of converts from Judaism to Christianity as translators, the censorship of anti-Christian references in Jewish texts, and the translation of Holocaust testimony. Faithful Renderings ultimately reveals that translation is not a marginal phenomenon but rather a crucial issue for understanding the relations between Jews and Christians and indeed the development of each religious community.
