July 23, 2012 — Leave a comment

The Japan Bible Society recently completed its “Spring Bible Seminars” (no. 28) in Tokyo.

In four afternoon sessions – held every other Saturday, beginning June 2 and running through July 14 – four eminent lecturers spoke on these topics while considering the merits and challenges of translating the Bible by committee vs. individually:

  1. “The Bible: From the Perspective of New Testament Studies” – Kiyoshi Tsuchido (土戸清氏, b. 1933)
  2. “The Bible: Use in Worship” – Tsuneaki Katō (加藤常昭, b. 1929)
  3. “Translating the New Interconfessional Translation” – Kenichi Kida (木田献一, b. 1930)
  4. “The Bible: Use in Mass” – Shunichi Takayanagi (高柳俊一, b. 1932)
