About this title

Synopsis

Interpreting for the deaf is an art as well as a skill. Signing the scriptures for the liturgy is a particular challenge, requiring both a sense of the poetic and an understanding of the meaning of a sacred text to a believing community. 'Signing the Scriptures: A Starting Point for Interpreting the Sunday Readings for the Deaf' offers the interpreter a place to begin to develop his or her own way of interpreting the readings for the Mass. It contains glosses for the readings for the Sundays and most major feast days from the Roman Catholic Lectionary for Mass. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.
