Penerjemahan sebagai Media Pekabaran Injil Middelkoop Ditinjau dari Perspektif Hermeneutika Hans Georg Gadamer

Abstract

This is paper is a hermeneutical approach to Peter Middelkoop’s Bible translation in West Timor, East Nusa Tenggara. By way of Gadamer’s hermeneutical thought, the author deduced that evangelism is always impacting either the mission activities or the site of mission. Since any achievement of evangelism, which implicated the local languages is not a sole accomplishment of mission institutions, such as Netherland Zending Genotschaf (NZG), but an outcome of the engagement between the missionaries and the existing culture.
