What translation philosophy was used to prepare the new translation?
-
Biblical equivalence
-
Dynamic equivalence
-
Formal equivalence
-
Traditional equivalence
Correct Answer
A. Formal equivalenceExplanation
Formal equivalence is a translation philosophy that aims to maintain the closest possible word-for-word correspondence between the original text and the translated version. It prioritizes accuracy and fidelity to the original language, often resulting in a more literal translation. This approach seeks to preserve the structure, grammar, and syntax of the original text, even if it may sound less natural or idiomatic in the target language. Therefore, the use of formal equivalence in preparing the new translation suggests that the translators aimed to stay true to the original wording and maintain a high level of precision in conveying the original meaning.Rate this question:

-
Making the translation sound as dynamic as possible

-
Making the translation follow the original in a word-for-word way
-
Making the translation follow the original in a thought-for-thought way
Correct Answer
A. Making the translation follow the original in a thought-for-thought wayExplanation
Dynamic equivalence refers to the approach of making a translation that captures the original meaning and intent of the text, rather than focusing on a literal word-for-word translation. It aims to convey the thoughts and ideas expressed in the original language, while adapting the language and style to make it more natural and understandable in the target language. This approach prioritizes conveying the message and meaning accurately, rather than adhering strictly to the exact wording of the original text.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. For you and for manyExplanation
The correct answer is "For you and for many." This phrase is used in the context of the Eucharist or Holy Communion, specifically during the consecration of the wine. It refers to the belief that Jesus' sacrifice and the shedding of his blood on the cross was for the salvation of all, but not all will choose to accept it. Therefore, it is offered to "many" who will accept it, rather than being forced upon everyone.Rate this question:

These seasons of the liturgical year focus on preparation and repentance, and the Apostles Creed emphasizes the foundational beliefs of Christianity. It is a concise summary of the faith that can be easily understood by people of all ages, making it particularly suitable for Masses with children. Additionally, the use of the Apostles Creed at baptismal services helps to reinforce the essential teachings of the Christian faith to those being initiated into the Church.Rate this question:

The collect is . . .
-
The part of Mass where we gather together as a congregation
-
The part of Mass also frequently called the opening prayer

The part of Mass where we give money
-
The part of Mass where the gifts are taken up to the altar
Correct Answer
A. The part of Mass also frequently called the opening prayerExplanation
The part of Mass also frequently called the opening prayer is the correct answer because it accurately describes the collect. In the Catholic liturgy, the collect is a specific type of prayer that is said by the priest at the beginning of the Mass. It is called the opening prayer because it sets the tone for the entire celebration and gathers the intentions of the congregation. The collect is usually short and concise, focusing on a specific theme or intention for that particular Mass.Rate this question:
