Christianity has always been a faith in translation, with Scriptures given in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. The Bible moves its readers between languages, reflecting the faith's spread throughout the world. This has involved constant translation from one language to another, through various forms of communication.
The faith is not limited by any particular language, and according to Scripture, God will be served by all languages and worshiped by all peoples. A theologian has described Christianity as a translated religion without a revealed language, emphasizing the importance of translation to the church. Further details on the significance of translation in Christianity are available from the source, highlighting its role as the church's birthmark and missionary benchmark.
