Abstract

This article is a practical guide for translating kyrios in the Gospel of John. It considers the context of those translating into minority languages and vernaculars, especially when their language communities have access to a pre-existing translation in a language of wider communication. It takes into account the importance of textual criticism, semantics, acceptability, narrative, and paratext when trying to address challenges in Bible translation.
