Patrick-and-Robyn-Johnstone.jpgThis is a question we hear from time to time.  It is usually followed owbook150px.jpg Does effexor rx cause weight gain, by the question, "Wouldn't it be easier to teach people English?"  Those are fair questions.  Recently I read an article by Patrick Johnstone, editor of Operation World.  It's always nice when someone else speaks for you, so I thought I'd put in a few quotes from his article, "Bible Translation and the Cross-Cultural DNA of the Church" from the January/February 2006 edition of Momentum Magazine (www.momentum-mag.org)

"Over the past year I have studied and meditated on the successes and failures of mission movements over history.  I have come to some startling conclusions."

"The widespread failure to translate and enculturate the Scriptures was a failure to effectively take the Gospel across cultural boundaries.  The result was spasmodic expansion and even massive losses from Christianity to other religions and ideologies."

"The Scriptures are unique.  The New Testament was written in Greek yet Jesus used Aramaic (related to Hebrew).  Christianity is the only religion in which the original documents are written in a language other than that of its founder.  This means that our original Scriptures contain a translation of the words of our Founder.  What a confirmation of the imperative for further translations of His Word into every language!"

"One of the most sobering aspect of the latter weakness is to realize that over the centuries the major peoples that have most persecuted Christians have been those who were evangelized, but never had the Scriptures in their own language.  The Huns, Arabs, Berbers, Kurds, Persians, Turks, Mongols all had heard something of the Gospel and some responded, but these peoples later became a scourge to the Church."

"The 21st century will possibly see the extinction of 2000 languages.  The most effective preventative for this is the translation and use of the Scriptures.  It gives added weight to the Vision 2025 of Wycliffe Bible Translators and other Bible agencies to see the initiation of translation work into every language now without the Bible and for which the speakers of that language desire it."

Wish I could have said it all that well.  I'm just glad someone of Johnstone's stature made the statements.  That's why we translate the Bible into the minority languages of the world.
