| Synopsis: |
Faithful Renderings reads translation history through the lens of Jewish Christian difference and, conversely, views Jewish Christian difference as an effect of translation. Subjecting translation to a theological-political analysis, Seidman asks how the charged Jewish Christian relationship and more particularly the dependence of Christianity on the texts and translations of a rival religion has haunted the theory and practice of translation in the West. Bringing together central issues in translation studies with episodes in Jewish Christian history, Naomi Seidman considers a range of texts, from the Bible to Elie Wiesel s 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." |
