Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ecumenical Missionary Conference, New York, 1900, Vol. 2 of 2: Report of the Ecumenical Conference on Foreign Missions, Held in Carnegie Hall and Neighboring Churches, April 21 to May 1 The Church and the Translation and Distribution of the Bible Rev. Canon W. J. Edmonds, B. D., British and Foreign Bible Society, Exeter, England. It is not yet adequately realized throughout the churches that the translation of the Scriptures into the language of the people amongst whom the religion of our Lord took root was the first solicitude of the apostolic churches, and, almost without exception, remained the policy of the Church to the sixteenth century. This is ecumenical if anything is, and yet it needs to be reaffirmed and co-ordinated and made to be the common policy of us all. We want Christian converts to have the help of Bibles. We want them to look into that achromatic mirror in which, without refraction or distortion, they may see Jesus. We don´t want them to have the distraction of rival Bibles, nor the disadvantage of eccentric Bibles, nor the darkness of unlearned Bibles. We want them to have the best that the best men can give them. We want to kindle in the churches the ambition that will keep men from sleeping, till in every land and language there is some promise that before long there will be such a translation of the Word of God that we can look comfortably into each others faces as we give it to the converts, and say, "Here is your spiritual history. This is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." The voice of this Ecumenical Conference will, I am sure, be as that of one man in laying this burden upon the missionary heart and the missionary mind of the churches. Whatever is the share of other lands, America, and Germany, and Great Britain are clearly put in trust of the gospel. They must translate and they must distribute it. To give to men the message of God on lips touched with a live coal from the altar of God is the first true greeting of the ideal missionary as he lays the foundation of a living church; to hand to his people God´s written revelation, plain, permanent, perfect, as far as anything partly human can attain to be perfect, is when his other work is over, his ideal farewell. There are on the roll of distinguished missionaries, ancient and modern, the names of illustrious laborers, who, in a single lifetime, have so begun and so ended their work.
