Product Description
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, Year C' 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.

 A text resource May 2, 2008
It is true the book provides helpful ideas on how to interepret difficult texts from the Bible. But if you are looking for SIGNS to be included you will be disappointed. Somehow I think the title may be a little misleading for those searching for Sign(not text)Language resource books.
 Thank you! Thank you! December 3, 2003

I've been interpreting Mass at my church for 5 years and I am so thankful to have found this book! It is wonderful to have a 'second opinion' in trying to gloss some of the more difficult concepts clearly. And, it's fun to see how many of my ideas are the same as Ms. Blake's! Talk about a confidence builder! The index is a plus. I just used it today to help find the glosses for the upcoming Immaculate Conception mass. However, I think anyone trying to gloss Bible readings, regardless of religous preference, would find this book handy. When is Cycle A coming out?? And how about a book of Mass songs????
Tremendous Help! December 2, 2003

When I first saw this book I was just amazed and excited about the way it provides helpful ideas on how to interepret difficult texts from the Bible! As an experienced interpreter for the deaf in a church, I can truly say this book has given me alternative ideas to consider and to improve interpreting some of the texts I stuggled with in the past! The index is a breeze to use as well. I can only hope Cycle A and B are forthcoming!
