Abstract

The first section in this chapter describes nascent attempts to broaden religious translation beyond interlingual translation, which provide new insight into translation processes and phenomena in religion. In this regard, it deals with the role of orality, the contribution of multimodal communication and the complex nature of religious knowledge. The second section deals with the processes of translating sacred space beyond interlingual translation, by describing the linking of sacred space in texts to the conceptual reality that brought the idea of sacred space about, as well as the mapping of this knowledge to new realities and texts, as instances of translation. The final section presents the conclusions.
