Author and BYU history professor Ignacio M. Garcia and Signature Books editorial manager John Hatch cover a lot of ground while discussing Garcia's new biography, Eduardo Balderas: Father of Church Translation, 1907-1989.
Balderas was a child refugee from Mexico whose family came to live in Texas in the 1900s. He joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, served a mission, became a branch president, and began translating for the church. Not only did he translate the Pearl of Great Price, the Doctrine and Covenants, Jesus the Christ, church manuals, and the temple ceremony, into Spanish, he also helped establish what became the church's Translation Department today.
Listen in and discover more about Balderas and how he created space for his Spanish-speaking brothers and sisters within the church that he found belonging in.
