Gender in Bible Translation: A Crucial Issue Still Mired in Misunderstanding⁠ - with Dave Brunn

Back in 2021 I had Dave Brunn on this podcast to talk about his amazing book One Bible, Many Versions. If you haven’t heard parts 1 and 2 of that interview, I highly recommend going back to listen when you finish this episode. Dave recently published an article titled Gender in Bible Translation: A Crucial Issue Still Mired in Misunderstanding. It would be an understatement to say that this is an important article for the Church, particularly English-speaking evangelicals. So when I saw his article I immediately reached out to him, and he very kindly agreed to record a reading of it for the listeners of this podcast. It’s an honor to feature him and his work again here. Dave Brunn is a missionary, translator and educator. He and his wife Nancy spent over twenty years in Papua New Guinea where they served the Lamogai people through church planting, literacy training and Bible translation. Currently, the Brunns reside in Camdenton, MO, where Dave serves as a translation instructor and an International Bible Translation Consultant. He and Nancy have helped hundreds of students in the US, Canada and Australia prepare for missionary service among remote people groups across the globe.  Music credit: Liborio Conti, no-copyright-music.com ⁠⁠workingfortheword.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ music⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hebrew ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠| ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠academic
