Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bible in the Life of the Indians of the United States The untutored Indian of North America, the primitive Red Man, knew nothing of a written language, or of any pictured speech beyond the rudest sand paintings, designs on birch bark, and pictographs on rocks and cliffs. The mystery and marvel of the white mans written and printed speech made a profound impression on the unlettered pagan. The "Religion of the Book," the white man´s "Guide to Heaven," was difficult for the Indian to realize as being equally intended for and adapted to him. He stood aloof saying, "This is the God of the Paleface, very good for him, but not for the Red Man." How great was the surprise and the interest, therefore, when this simple, childlike, primitive man heard read to him from the printed page the Word of God, translated into his own speech, the language of his tribe. When someone, a member of his own tribe, perchance, an educated Indian and a convert to the Christian faith, read to him and explained the printed page, his incredulity and lack of comprehension turned into admiration and comprehension, by the aid of the Divine Spirit. With the dawning intelligence that the religion of the Book was just as much for him as for the race that could read and write, the Scriptures became alive and personal in their application.
