Sam's talk delves into the complexities of translating biblical texts and explores the theme of calling in Christianity. Using examples from his work as a translation consultant for the Bible Society, Sam discusses the challenge of maintaining accuracy while avoiding the temptation to add personal interpretations to the text. He emphasises the importance of understanding the original intent of the biblical language and not over-specifying it in modern contexts. Drawing from the Book of Judges and the letters of Peter, Sam highlights various aspects of the Christian calling: to be holy like God, to follow Jesus, to imitate Christ's example, and to bless others. He encourages listeners to reflect on how they can embody these principles in their lives, particularly during Easter, as they await the eternal glory promised by God. Sam's talk concludes with a prayer for God's guidance in living out the Christian calling.
