Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on the History and Recent Collation: Of the English Version of the Bible To The Board of Managers of the American Bible Society: The Committee on Versions, to whom the subject of collating the editions of the English Bible published by this Society with those issued in Grreat Britain, was referred in the year 1847, respectfully beg leave to present this as their full and final Report. Three years and a half have now elapsed, since the subject of such a collation was first brought to the attention of the Committee. They have regarded it from the beginning as a matter of high importance; connected as it is with the purity of that Holy Word, which it is the object and business of this Society to diffuse as widely as possible. Having now brought their work to a close, the Committee would, first of all, render thanks to God, for the favour with which he has vouchsafed to attend them in their labours; for the mutual feelings of Christian respect and affection, accompanied by entire unanimity of action, which he has enabled them to cherish; and for the preservation of their lives and health during so long a period. Since the commencement of the work, only a single change has taken place in the Committee itself; occasioned by the retirement of the Rev. Dr. Peck, and the accession of the Rev. Dr. M´Clintock in his place. One of the Secretaries of the Society, who met with us during the first year, the Rev. Dr. Levings, has been called to his eternal reward; and is now, we doubt not, rejoicing in the truth of God´s perfect Word unclouded by any admixture of human imperfection. From the other Secretaries of the Society, who have often met with us, the Rev. Drs. Brigiiam and Holdich, the Committee have received much aid and many valuable suggestions.
