Whose translation?
“Interpreting Scripture from different contemporary perspectives”
The Methodist Church has designated the 400th anniversary of the translation of the Bible into English, in the Kings James Version, “The Year of the Bible” and this is the inspiration for the 2011 Hugh Price Hughes lectures. Recognising that translation isn’t simply a matter of language, and that we interpret scripture from and for a great variety of contexts, we have invited five recognised authorities who will speak from different perspectives.
All lectures are on Tuesdays at 7.30pm and are free

About Hugh Price Hughes
This is the thirteenth series of Hugh Price Hughes Lectures. The Revd Hugh Price Hughes founded the West London Mission in 1887. He was one of the most forward-looking thinkers of the day. We believe these annual lectures are making a significant contribution towards exploring our faith in the 21st century.
