Focusing on Baptist missions in Bengal, it traces the parallel themes of ‘the family' and ‘the heathen’ in published missionaries’ accounts and explores how they served pragmatic and rhetorical functions throughout the period.

  • Serampore: Telos of the Reformation
    SERAMPORE: TELOS OF THE REFORMATION by Samuel Everett Masters B.A., Miami Christian College, 1989 A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Religion at Reformed Theological Seminary Charlotte, North Carolina December, 2010 Accepted: ______________________________ Dr. Samuel Larsen, Project Mentor ii ABSTRACT Serampore: the Telos of the Reformation Samuel E. Masters While many biographies of missionary William Carey have been written over the last two centuries, with the exception of John Clark Marshman’s “The Life and Times of Carey, Marshman and Ward: Embracing the History of the Serampore Mission”, published in the mid-nineteenth century, no major work has explored the history of the Serampore Mission founded by Carey and his colleagues. This thesis examines the roots of the Serampore Mission in Reformation theology. Key themes are traced through John Calvin, the Puritans, Jonathan Edwards, and Baptist theologian Andrew Fuller. In later chapters the thesis examines the ways in which these theological themes were worked out in a missiology that was both practical and visionary. The Serampore missionaries’ use of organizational structures and technology is explored, and their priority of preaching the gospel is set against the backdrop of their efforts in education, translation, and social reform. A sense is given of the monumental scale of the work which has scarcely equaled down to this day. iii For Carita: Faithful wife Fellow Pilgrim iv CONTENTS Acknowledgements …………………………..…….………………..……………………...viii Chapter 1.

  • Translation Strategies of the Non-Native Odia Translators (1807-1874)
    Translation Strategies of the Non-Native Odia Translators (1807-1874) RAMESH C MALIK Translation strategy means a plan or procedure adopted by the translators to solve the translation problems. The present paper is to highlight on the translation strategies of the non-native Odia translators during the colonial period (1807-1874). First of all, those translators who were non-residents of Odisha and had learnt Odia for specific purposes are considered non-native Odia translators.The first name one of the Odia translators is William Carey (1761-1834), who translated the New Testament or Bible from English to Odia that was subsequently published by the Serampore Mission Press Calcutta in 1807. A master craftsman of Christian theology and an Odia translator of missionary literature, Amos Sutton (1798-1854), who translated John Bunyan’s (1628-1688) the Pilgrim’s Progress (1678) to Odia under the titled swargiya jātrira brutānta in 1838. Sutton served as an Odia translator under the British government. His religious, literary, and linguistic contributions to Odia language and literature are to be studied for making a concrete idea about the development of Odia prose. In the era of Odia translation discourse, his translations deserve to be studied in the theoretical frame of translation strategies. In this paper, the following translation strategies like linguistic strategies, literal translation strategy, lexical alteration strategy, deletion, exoticism and cultural transposition strategies are predominately adopted by the translators. Since the objectives of the SLTs were to promote religious evangelization and second language learning, the translation strategies tried to preserve the religious and pedagogical fidelity rather that textual fidelity in the translated texts.

  • William Carey: Did You Know? Little-Known Or Remarkable Facts About William Carey
    Issue 36: William Carey: 19th c. Missionary to India William Carey: Did You Know? Little-known or remarkable facts about William Carey Dr. R.E. Hedland is missionary lecturer for the Conservative Baptist Fellowship Mission Society in Mylapore, India. He is the author of The Mission of the Church in the World (Baker, 1991). William Carey translated the complete Bible into 6 languages, and portions into 29 others, yet he never attended the equivalent of high school or college. His work was so impressive, that in 1807, Brown University conferred a Doctor of Divinity degree on him. William Carey is often called the Father of Modern Protestant Missions. But the first European Protestant missionaries to Asia arrived almost a century before he did. By the time Carey established his mission community, there were thousands of Christians in a Pietist-led settlement in southern India. William Carey’s ministry sparked a new era in missions. One historian notes that his work is “a turning-point; it marks the entry of the English-speaking world on a large scale into the missionary enterprise—and it has been the English-speaking world which has provided four-fifths of the [Protestant] missionaries from the days of Carey until the present time.” Due to an illness, Carey lost most of his hair in his early twenties. He wore a wig for about ten more years in England, but on his way to India, he reportedly threw his wig in the ocean and never wore one again. This famous phrase is the best-known saying of William Carey, yet Carey never said it this way.

    54 Journal of European Baptist Studies 19:1 (2019) ‘To communicate simply you must understand profoundly’: The Necessity of Theological Education for Deepening Ministerial Formation1 Anthony R. Cross This paper explores the vital role that theology has played for those called to serve the people of God as ministers. It seeks to demonstrate that, from their beginnings in the early seventeenth century, Baptists have believed that a theologically educated ministry is a necessity. This belief led Baptists to pioneer the dissenting academies, which in time became colleges, and to be key figures in the development of education which has benefitted the whole Baptist tradition and church of God. Contrary to misconceptions among Baptists, and, we should add, those of other traditions, Baptists have always had men, and in time also women, who have been highly trained theologically, and who have made significant contributions to the churches they have served. Finally, it argues that theology and an educated ministry have major roles to play in the renewal of Christian life and witness for which so many Christians today are praying. Keywords Theology; education; ministry; pastor-theologians; Baptist colleges; biblical languages; mission; Bible translation Introduction I feel a sense of urgency about this subject, as the amount of time allotted to theological study within education for the Baptist ministry has lessened markedly in recent decades – some feel drastically – from full-time to part- time, and sometimes even less, and sometimes now not even at a Baptist college or recognised theological college. Much of present-day British Baptist life does not emphasise the necessity of theology for ministerial formation or for Christian discipleship in the way it has for over 400 years.2 Contemporary British culture does not place a high premium on education, and this pattern is undoubtedly mirrored among the churches.

    Life of William Carey, Shoemaker and Missionary Author(s): George Adam Smith Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: William Carey is often considered the ªfather of modern missionsº as his missionary work in India set the standard for Christian evangelism. This biography, written by George Smith within 50 years of Carey's death, tells the missionary's story. Smith's admiration of the author is obvious, but this partiality does not take away from the project as a whole. Along with taking the reader through Carey's life, he also in- cludes many of the missionary's personal letters and ser- mons, allowing readers to engage with Carey as intimately.
