The United Bible Societies are renowned for their scholarship in the fields of translation theory and practice. The Helps for Translators collection brings together a wide range of their practical tools for Bible translators. Find helpful translation suggestions for common animals and plants mentioned in Scripture. Learn how to maintain the poetic form of Old Testament passages when you translate them into another language. Explore the semantic range of Greek vocabulary with helpful lexical tools. Ideal for translators, teachers, or students, this collection provides the tools you need to undertake an in-depth study of biblical languages.

Volumes in the UBS Technical Helps series concentrate on exegetical information for translators, attempting to indicate possible solutions for translational problems related to language or culture without attempting to provide help that other theologians and scholars may seek but which is not directly related to the translation task.
