As a result, readers are given an insider perspective on important questions that commonly arise about Bible translation activities, such as: What, if any, is the role of missionaries in promoting language vitality? Doesn't the Christian tradition degrade the value of linguistic diversity? Does the historical role of Christianity in colonizing and assimilatory activities destabilize the ethics of Bible translation work today? Does the introduction of literacy into communities via Bible translation undermine language vitality in any way?» (Lindsay J.
