Video Interview with Harriet Hill

“The challenge for Bible translation is Scripture Engagement. A lot of translated Bibles after all that work are sitting in warehouses. Nobody knows about them, nobody wants them, they don’t know what to do with them…”

Alan Roxburgh sat down with Harriet Hill in Malaysia in October 2009 to talk about her experience as the SIL International Scripture Use Coordinator. She tells stories of her experiences in Africa and her reflections on issues of language and contextualisation. Affirming the vital role of mother tongue, Harriet urges us not to worship it, but to remain focussed on Jesus Christ.
