CLBSJ is excited to welcome Terry Wildman for a sharing and Bible study with the First Nations Version of Psalms and Proverbs, recently published by InterVarsity Press. Building upon the well received FNV: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament, Wildman’s team has crafted a dynamic equivalence translation of the beloved books Psalms and Proverbs, drawing from the cultural and linguistic thought patterns found in the tongues and traditions of First Nations peoples. In this session, Wildman will share about the history, motivations and process of creating this unique translation. We will then delve into a few scriptures that speak strongly to our current times.
