Translating God
Illustration: Daniel Brånn.
The course will not focus primarily on linguistic problems, but rather highlights different historical, cultural, and socio-political aspects of religious texts in translation. In particular, the reception of these texts in different target cultures/contexts is highlighted, discussing how these contexts have shaped the understanding of the religious texts in question, but also how the texts themselves have contributed to influencing and shaping these contexts and cultures.
