Bonus:
Discuss the translation and literation of the bible from 530 BC to 16ll AD? It really does seem that Bible translation has always been integral to God’s mission. Nowhere is this more striking than in the early Syrian Church. Amazingly, the Church that Saul intended to persecute in Acts 9
became a centre for mission. The first translation of the Scriptures in the Christian era was into Syriac around 170 AD, as spoken in Damascus.
Language, culture, and technology advancements had a significant impact on Bible translation and literacy throughout this period. Scripture scribes, scholars, and translators from many eras and places contributed assiduously to the preservation of the biblical texts. The Bible's journey from its original languages to many translations
illustrates how religious materials are transmitted dynamically across generations
