Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees - a novel about the business of Bible Translation

Daniel Taylor, who served as a consultant to the NLT, has written a novel about Bible translation, Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees (from Slant, the fiction imprint of Wipf & Stock). The First Things blog has a short recommendation.

When his employers decide that they want a piece of the lucrative if already crowded market for Bible translations, Jon is drafted to serve as a non-voting member of the committee that will oversee the new translation. “The word is, Mr. Mote, that you grew up among the fundamentalists. Those are your people. We need someone on our side who understands them.”
