Oral Bible Translation with Kris Toler

This month's episode covers Oral Bible Translation, the method of translation that maintains an oral format in order to put the Bible out in an audio format. This is different than oral story-telling! In our discussion with Kris Toler, we talk about the advantages this method brings, including a more natural-sounding translation, as well as some of the aspects that are still being studied. We hope that this will continue to broaden your understanding of what Bible translation can look like in different contexts.
