| Summary: | This study examines translations of the Lord’s Prayer in the Chinese Union Version, Today’s Chinese Version, and the Contemporary Chinese Version (New Testament), exploring how the doctrine of the incarnation is woven into these translations. The author explains how an ideal translation aims at “relevance in faithfulness.” Having provided his own rendering of the prayer, the author goes on to discuss the theology of God’s sovereignty and the theology of the cross that it demonstrates, concluding that biblical translation involves both a theological grasp of the text’s objective revelation and reflection on the subjective theological position(s) held by the translator. |
