Just felt like quoting this bit.
It's good, isn't it?!
What could be more encouraging that telling a translator that his or her work is reflective and symbolic of the incarnation of Christ?
Nothing!
FWIW, I view the original biblical texts as well as translation of them as a kind of incarnation. Christ, the Logos ("Word", but a much richer greek concept than just "word") was incarnation in person. The Bible and translation of it is incarnation of God's message to people.
