  • HBU Academy – 1St Place Winner-Piece of the Past Essay Contest, 2020
    HBU Academy – 1st place winner-Piece of the Past Essay Contest, 2020 A Threefold Legacy: How Adoniram Judson’s Wives Contributed to the Ministry of the Man Who First Translated the Bible for the Burmese People by Rebecca Rizzotti In a glass case in the Dunham Bible Museum sits a book, open to public eye, filled seemingly with mere curves and squiggles. To an uninformed passerby, it may appear a simple curiosity, yet there is a story of incredible suffering, perseverance, and patience behind that book. It is a Burmese Bible. Adoniram Judson, as the first missionary sent out from the United States to a foreign country and the first person to translate the Bible into Burmese, is a well-known figure in the annals of missions. Yet in the many biographies, narratives, and articles centering on his life and work, the lives and work of his three wives—especially the latter two—are often overlooked. Each woman contributed immensely to a different aspect of his service that was essential to success as a missionary. Ann Hasseltine Judson demonstrated an incredible spirit of self-sacrifice during her marriage to Adoniram—first in agreeing to leave her family and homeland for a future of sickness and suffering, just days after their wedding in 1812—but most especially during her husband’s twenty-one months in brutal Burmese prisons in 1824-1825, his punishment for the false charge of espionage as he ministered in Rangoon. She “saved Judson’s life during the prison years… several times…Ann loved him fiercely, unreservedly, even to the point of giving her life for him.

Emily Chubbuck Judson, herself (as portrayed by actor Carol Anderson of Acts of Renewal), will begin the evening, followed by a lecture on “The Romances of Emily Judson” by Dr. George Tooze. Famous for her writing career under the pen name “Fanny Forester,” Emily became even more famous as the third wife of the twice- widowed missionary Adoniram Judson. Dr. Tooze is the editor of The Life and Letters of Emily Chubbuck Judson, published by Mercer University Press. Open to the public, this event will be held at Mercer University’s Atlanta Administration & Conference Center (2930 Flowers Rd S., Atlanta, 30414). Why Is This Such a Big Deal? The Judsons—Adoniram and Ann, his first wife, who were sent in 1812 as Congregational missionaries, but became Baptists on the ocean voyage, his second wife, Sarah Hall Boardman Judson, whose first husband died in Burma, and Emily—are credited as pioneers of the modern missionary movement. In Burma (now Myanmar), Judson is celebrated as the author of the first Burmese dictionary, still in use today. “Back in the U.S., Adoniram and Ann were as famous as rock stars today,” said Dr. Deborah B. Van Broekhoven, executive director of the Historical Society.

  • Adoniram & Ann Judson: Did You Know?
    Issue 90: Adoniram & Ann Judson: American Mission Pioneers Adoniram & Ann Judson: Did You Know? Interesting and little-known facts about the Judsons and other early American missionaries. Compiled by Rebecca Golossanov Larger than life Missionary memoirs and biographies (often full of illustrations like the one to the left) gained huge popularity during the 19th century, inspiring young people to become missionaries and motivating Christians at home to pray for and give money to the missions cause. One biography of Adoniram Judson, published in 1853 by Francis Wayland, sold 26,000 copies in the first year alone. The most famous biography of Ann Judson appeared in a new edition almost every year from 1830 to 1856. Unitarian Lydia Maria Child described it as "a book so universally known that it scarcely need be mentioned." To the present, there have been at least 56 biographies of Adoniram published and at least 16 of Ann, including biographies for children. Though over the years the facts grew more and more embellished, the stories surrounding the Judsons' lives became as much a part of the landscape of American missions as the Judsons' own accomplishments. Being like Brainerd He made only a handful of converts in five years of evangelizing among the Native Americans. He died of tuberculosis at age 29. But for 19th-century Christians, David Brainerd (1718-1747) was the ideal missionary and a model of "disinterested benevolence," the sacrificing of self for the sake of others. Jonathan Edwards's 1749 biography, The Life and Diary of David Brainerd, became a spiritual classic motivating countless young Americans to become missionaries themselves.
