ILT Ph.D. Student Publishes New Book Translation
Christ School of Theology Doctor of Philosophy student, Martan Thagliana from Myanmar, has recently translated (in Burmese) and published “Why I am a Lutheran” by Rev. Daniel Preus originally published by Concordia Publishing House. Two thousand copies have been printed. The translation and printing cost was provided by Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA).
Pastor Martan is also working on rechecking the Burmese and Mizo translations of “Church Rites” used by LCA. This work will be of great benefit to the Lutheran Church of Myanmar (LCM) as well as other denominations in Myanmar. Preparation is also underway for the translation of “Luther’s Catechism with Explanation” written by David P. Kuske.
About these projects, Pastor Martan says, “In Myanmar, translation of Lutheran theological books and resources are very much needed for our pastors and church leaders. To achieve this goal, LCM recently opened the Lighthouse Resource Center (LRC), a resource library to provide hunger of books to ministers from various churches in Yangon and different parts of the country.”
