Erased in Translation: Colonization, Language Loss, and the Displacement of Identity
What Scripture and History Reveal About the Spiritual Cost of Cultural Erasure
In this thought-provoking work, Erased in Translation explores how language functions not just as a tool of communication, but as a vessel of identity, memory, and spiritual continuity. From the divine disruption at Babel to the calculated strategies of Babylonian captivity, the book uncovers how the suppression or replacement of language often signals a deeper effort to erase culture and sever spiritual legacy.
Drawing rich parallels between biblical events and modern colonization, this study examines how empires ancient and modern target the educated, rewire identity through language, and weaponize knowledge as a means of control. Through a close reading of Daniel 1 and other scriptural accounts, it reveals how the loss of language can displace not just a people’s voice, but their purpose and divine connection.
For readers seeking to understand the spiritual cost of cultural erasure, this book offers a timely and sobering analysis of how colonization doesn’t just conquer lands it captures minds, tongues, and the future.
