Brian Finch on translating the New Testament

Available for over a year

Over in Scotland, Kist meets up with Brian Finch, a published poet and theologian, who is hoping to translate the New Testament into Scots. He tells us it’s already been translated three times: once in 1520 by Nisbett; then by Smyth in Canada; and most recently, Lorimer’s version. Finch explains why his version will be different and reads his version of the Lord’s Prayer. (Broadcast: 09/10/2005)
