	This article provides a detailed analysis of the Polish translation of a manual of
	homiletics against the background of the broader question regarding the translator’s
	workshop. The various translational solutions are subsequently discussed in sections
	devoted to grammatical and lexical errors, metaphorical and terminological incoherence,
	and collocational and stylistic errors. It is suggested that the deficient workshop of the
	translator manifested in numerous errors, chiefly attributable to insufficient understanding
	of the source language by the translator, may correspond to the quasitheological
	conviction according to which the crucial characteristic of the translator is
	his or her passion rather than linguistic competence. The article ends with the appeal
	to translators of various texts – not just theological ones – to observe the ancient
	principle of primum non nocere in order to ensure the acceptable quality of their
	works.
