Welcome to the Nida School of Bible Translation!

NSBT 2015 marks the third iteration of this new training initiative designed to help translators and consultants prepare to carry forward the multi-faceted work of Bible translation in diverse settings marked by social and religious complexity.

This year, we will spend our week together focusing on the theme of "Translation Beyond Print", as we seek to develop a clearer understanding of the similarities and differences between traditional print translation and new forms of digital and non-print presentations of the Bible. Examples and exercises will be drawn from a variety of different Biblical texts throughout the week, and we are looking forward to a rich time together. 

As the month of May draws nearer, we hope this site will become a hub of activity and communication. Already listed below you will find a series of exercises and activities that you are expected to engage with in the weeks leading up to the school. These are intended to help you start thinking seriously about the three kinds of Scripture performance that will be the foci of our seminar: Scripture spoken, signed, and sung. Please take note of the dates listed below, and be sure to check back often for the latest updates and information.

We look forward to welcoming you in person when you arrive on the beautiful Italian Adriatic seacoast in May! In the meantime, the links below will provide you with further information about travel to and from Misano, as well as about various aspects of the school itself.

Best wishes as you prepare for NSBT 2015!
