| Summary: | This essay is a personal reflection on my experience as a translator in the translation project Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works English (DBWE). The purpose of these reflections is to make intelligible my experience of translating Bonhoeffer as a distinctly hermeneutic engagement on three distinct but interrelated levels. First, the translation of words; second, the translation of ideas, concepts, paragraphs, sections and so on; and third, the translation of the author as a person, in this case, the attempt to understand Bonhoeffer’s thought and life. |
