Det kommer litt an pรฅ hvordan innretningen er (forskningsspรธrsmรฅl osv), men generelt sett er teori fra Translation Studies ofte brukt i litteratur og teologi, nettopp fordi feltet i seg selv er tverrdisiplinรฆrt, og anvendbart pรฅ disse disiplinene. Hva er forskningsspรธrsmรฅlet @magloken.bsky.social ?
