The Idiot's Guide to Doctrinal Spanish?

[KMK]

Does such a work exist?

In my neck of the woods there are many whose first language is Spanish and their second language is English. They have mastery of conversational English but lack any kind of academic English. (And possibly academic Spanish as well.) Is there a resource for English speakers on how to address doctrinal topics in Spanish? How do you explain Justification, Adoption, Sanctification, Propitiation, Atonement etc. in Espanol?

Does anyone on PB know of any resource like that?

Bump!

Ruben?

Given the lack of response thus far, I'd suggest that you give them material in Spanish, and then let them bring their questions to you.

CEP Bookstore - WESTMINSTER CONFESSION/SHORTER CATECHISM - SPANISH

Of course, then you might end up with a group of Spanish speaking Presbyterians.

I don't think there's anything quite like what you mention, Ken - at least, I haven't seen anything. But something like this might help you to have the words to explain the concepts contained in the terms of art:
Amazon.com: Diccionario manual de teología (Spanish Edition) (9788482674827): Justo L. Gonzalez: Books

Ken, my Dad does this kind of thing in London where there is a large-ish spanish speaking group in his church. I believe that what he has learned has been step-by-step and gained by queries raised with native speakers. I'm not aware of a published vocab. guide. Perhaps there's a niche for it!

Have you looked into real time translation software?

I'm not sure it is commercially available just yet, but should be soon.

Sorry, I'm the only native Californian who never learned ANY Spanish!
