Italy Internship
Rather than do all this work by himself, the Area Director put together a tight-knit team of North Americans based out of Italy who are laboring to help the Bible-less peoples receive the Word of God in the language they understand best. Through data entry, linguistic analysis, interlinearization, back translations, and linguistic/missiological survey, this team is working on the cutting edge of the translation movement.
During this year’s summer internship, our team in Italy will host checking workshops. During this time, exegetes will pour over the text of various Biblical books in 3-6 different languages. Interns will have the opportunity to observe, as well as participate, in detailed discussions surrounding the meaning of the Biblical text and wade through the challenges of communicating that meaning in a different language and culture. Interns will receive hands-on experience in the nitty-gritty of Bible translation, as well as enjoy interacting with our translators on these various projects.
