Hello dear colleagues!! Could you help me with this...I need to translate the following text from Spanish to English:
"Nuestros estudiantes interpretan la producci�n literaria de la humanidad bas�ndose en aspectos cient�ficos y en valores cristianos. ." I would like to know if this translation is correct or if u can help me to improve it:
"Our students interpret the literary production of humanity based on scientific and Christian values"
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I �m just curious. What does "the literary production of humanity" mean? Could it somehow be dejargonized? It took me a long time to interpret that sentence, so, perhaps it can be reworded for readability? 
Does it mean, "Our students perceive literature through scientific and Christian values"?
Or perhaps, "Our students perceive literature from the standpoint of Christian and scientific values"? |

As a native speaker I think jrg2 �s first translation is excellent.
