Issue Number: 588 – July to September 2009 From the desk of the Genera l Secretary BRETHREN, PRAY FOR US… We thank all our members and friends for their continued prayerful sup - port of the Society. It is a great encouragement to us to know that throughout the world we have so many individuals and congregations of the Lord ’s people who bring the Society and its work before the Lord in prayer at the Throne of Grace on a regular basis . Although there is a very clear practical side to our activity, the work of the Society is essentially spiritual, and this must always be kept prominent - ly in the forefront of our minds . Without its all-important spiritual element, the work is nothing. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. (Psalm 127.1) There are many things the Society needs. It needs suitably able and qualified employees; it continuously needs finance in order for its impor - tant work to continue; its governing body and those managing the affairs of the Society in different parts of the world need the Lord to grant them much wisdom, guidance and direction—as do all the staff—that they may fulfil their various activities well; but, above all things, we need the Lord’s blessing. 3 Trinitarian Bible Society – Quarterly Record Indeed, we are utterly dependent upon the Lord for His blessing. His blessing is indispensable. It is necessary that His blessing rests upon every area of the work. It is necessary that His blessing accompanies the Scriptures that we distribute in His Name. The Society’s dependence upon the Lord for His blessing has been acknowledged from the very beginning of the Society’s existence. In writ - ing about meetings of the Society, the men of God who founded the work in 1831 explicitly stated in Law XIII of the Society’s Constitution: This Society, acknowledging the ignorance and helplessness of man, deems it a bounden duty to express its entire dependence upon the blessing of JEHOVAH, the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY GHOST, in its “work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope”, by offering up prayer and praise at all its Meetings. This formulary is no mere statement of intent extracted from a historic document no longer in vogue, and which is consequently wholly irrelevant to the present day; it is that which truly encapsulates the very essence of what is needed for the ongoing work of the Society in 2009. Without the blessing of the Lord, all our work is, and will be, in vain. There is, therefore, the need for those of us who are in any way directly connected to the work and witness of the Society to humble ourselves before the Lord continuously; to acknowledge our dependence upon Him; to beseech Him for His grace, direction and help; and to render to Him our praise for His great goodness and condescending grace in giving us His ‘unspeakable gift’ (2 Corinthians 9.15) . We need to thank Him continually for having given to us the inestimable treasure of the Holy Scriptures and for providing the resources necessary for their translation, production and distribution; and for granting to the Society the many opportunities we have for their circulation throughout the world. This spiritual aspect of the work is that which directly relates to all the Members of the General Committee, the Directors of the Society’s Branches, the Members of its Auxiliary Committees, the Society’s Staff, Consultants and all who are involved in one way or another with the many and diverse practical aspects of the Society’s work and with how these func - tions are fulfilled. Whatever we do, we need to do all to the glory of God, 4 Issue Number: 588 – July to September 2009 prayerfully and humbly looking to the Lord for His blessing and His most necessary help. It is in this most important spiritual aspect of the work that our prayer - ful supporters and friends can also be so very helpful. We would ask you each to share with us in this spiritual part of the great and noble work the Society is endeavouring to undertake, of supplying the Word of Life to our fellow sinners throughout the world. Comparatively few of our many good supporters in the United Kingdom, North America or Australasia or elsewhere can be directly involved in the practical tasks undertaken by our translators, revisers and other editorial staff; or be employed in the despatch of the orders and grants that are sent out to so many different parts of the world; or serve as Members of Committees and Boards, overseeing the work of the Society. But all who fear God and are truly supportive of the work of the Society, wherever they may live, can assist in this great task, in the all-important spiritual activity of seeking to bring the work before the Lord in prayer that His great blessing may both rest upon the many aspects of the work that we seek to undertake in His fear, and accompany the many copies of His Word that we are enabled by His grace to distribute. The warfare in which we are engaged is against the spiritual Amalekites— the world, the flesh and the devil. We need our supporters and friends to follow the most important, noble and blessed role undertaken by Aaron and Hur, and to hold the Society and its work up in prayer before the Lord. Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. (Exodus 17.8–13) 5 Trinitarian Bible Society – Quarterly Record In addition to the details given on pages 13 to 25 in this magazine about the Spanish Bible, our contacts in South America and the need for prayer for His blessing to be upon the wonderful openings the Lord has granted to the Society there, the following paragraphs contain information on other projects in which the Society is engaged, which we hope will be of both general and prayerful interest.

    id3200531 pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com Cipriano de Valera Nacido en Valera la Vieja (Herróbriga), entonces perteneciente al Reino de Sevilla, en 1531 o 1532, y fallecido después de 1602 al parecer en Londres. Sobre todo, es conocido como el revisor y editor de la primera traducción castellana de la Biblia desde los originales. Fue condiscípulo de Arias Montano, mientras estudiaba en Sevilla. Al terminar seis años de estudios de Filosofía, y con el grado de Bachiller, ingresó en el Monasterio Jerónimo de San Isidoro del campo, próximo a Sevilla, desde el que huyó, con otros, en 1557, a Ginebra para librarse del Tribunal de la Inquisición, que llegó a quemarlo en efigie ("por luterano") en 1562 y le colocó en el "Índice de Libros Prohibidos", como autor de primera clase. De Ginebra pasó a Londres, al subir al trono Isabel I, y allí residió el resto de sus días, menos el tiempo que le llevó en Amsterdam la impresión de la segunda edición, notablemente revisada por él, de la traducción castellana de la Biblia, que había publicado su compatriota y compañero de monasterio Casiodoro de Reina, en Basilea (1569). En Inglaterra fundó una familia, enseñó en las universidades de Cambridge y Oxford y publicó varios libros. De sus obras originales, la primera que vió la luz fue Dos Tratados. El primero el del Papa y su de autoridad, colegido de su vida y doctrina, y de lo que los doctores y concilios antiguos y la misma Sagrada Escritura enseñan.

  • Biblismo, Lengua Vernácula Y Traducción En Casiodoro De Reina Y Cipriano De Valera
    ISSN: 1579-9794 Biblismo, lengua vernácula y traducción en Casiodoro de Reina y Cipriano de Valera (Casiodoro de Reina and Cipriano de Valera’s biblicism, vernacular language and translation) JUAN LUIS MONREAL PÉREZ [email protected] Universidad de Murcia Fecha de recepción: 26 de septiembre de 2014 Fecha de aceptación: 1 de noviembre de 2014 Resumen: El examen de la contribución de Casiodoro de Reina y Cipriano de Valera a la lengua vulgar hay que hacerlo en el contexto de tres corrientes culturales que agitan el periodo renacentista europeo y que encuentran, igualmente, su expresión en la España de aquel tiempo: Erasmismo, Reformismo y Biblismo. Por otra parte, el uso de la lengua vernácula en ambos necesita ser visto desde una perspectiva histórico- lingüista amplia, que permita ver tanto la influencia que éstos recibieron de la tradición anterior, a través de las traducciones de la Biblia al castellano, como el uso que éstos hicieron de la lengua castellana. Sus aportaciones a la lengua española se han hecho a través de las dos traslaciones de la Biblia que llevaron a cabo, y que fueron realizadas con las ideas y los criterios que expusieron en sus correspondientes introducciones al texto que denominaron Amonestación y Exhortación. Palabras clave: Erasmismo, Reformismo, Biblismo, Lengua Vernácula, Traslación. Abstract: Examination of the contribution of Casiodoro de Reina and Cipriano de Valera to the vernacular language must be made in the context of three cultural currents that shook the European Renaissance period and found equal expression in the Spain of that time: Erasmianism, Reformism and Biblicism. Moreover, the use of the vernacular language by these two authors needs to be viewed from a broad historical-linguist perspective which allows one to view both the influence they received from the previous tradition, through translations of the Bible into Spanish, as well as the use they made of the Spanish language.

  • The Reformation in Spain in the Sixteenth Century (Part 1)
    Southwestern Journal of Theology • Volume 60 • Number 1 • Fall 2017 The Reformation in Spain in the Sixteenth Century (Part I)1 Emilio Monjo Bellido Director Center for the Investigation and Memory of Spanish Protestantism Seville, Spain I am interested in history, not in and of itself, but as an expression of the glory of God. We are not contemplating events in a neutral, secular set- ting. We are in the holy of holies. We have arrived at it through the new and living way of the very flesh of our Redeemer; that is the fundamental mean- ing of all that has happened in the past and what may come in the future. I invite you to join me as we transport ourselves together to the six- teenth century and to see what happens in Seville, one of the most important cities in Europe in that epoch. From there we will see the Reformation in Spain. Because we do not have a lot of time, the visit will be for only one day, 22 December 1560. That day, very early in the morning, an entourage leaves, made up of members of the Inquisition Tribunal, the nobility of the city, functionaries, friars, and the prisoners from the castle of Triana. That Castle of San Jorge, erected near river Guadalquivir that divides the city, was a fortress for the defense of the city, now the headquarters and principal jail of the Spanish Inquisition. It represents a visible symbol of power. One cannot walk in the city without its silhouette projecting a feeling of fear.

  • Spanish Protest.Ant Refugees in Engl.And. by Dr
    264 SPANISH PROTESTANT REFUGEES IN ENGLAND SPANISH PROTEST.ANT REFUGEES IN ENGL.AND. BY DR. LIESELOTTE LINNHOFF, Author of Spanische Protestanten und England. N the 'forties and 'fifties of the sixteenth century, the Protestant I doctrine was received with great rejoicing in Spain, the two towns of Valladolid and Seville, where a great number of the noble and more refined section of the population formed the first Protestant congregations on Spanish soil, taking the lead. Also the greater part of the monasteries and nunneries in the neighbourhood of these two centres of Protestantism had been imbued with the new doctrine. Of the greatest significance were the events in the Hieronymite convent of San Isidro de! Campo, in the vicinity of Seville. Many of the monks had been converted, due chiefly to the influence of important Sevillian Protestants as Dr. Egidio, Dr. Constantino, Garci-Arias-commonly called "el Maestro Blanco" -and to the devoted study of evangelical books imported from Geneva and Germany. Within a few years, considerable reforms were introduced into monastic life: the fixed hours for prayer were now spent reading and interpreting the Bible; prayers for the dead were omitted ; papal indulgences and pardons were entirely abolished ; the concentration on the Holy Scriptures superseded the obligation of novices to submit to strict monastic rules. Only the monastic garb and the external ceremony of the Mass were retained as a precaution. A few monks, however, found it difficult to reconcile with their conscience the keeping to external rules for reasons of fear only. Therefore in 1557 twelve monks left the monastery to enjoy peace of mind and religious freedom in Protestant countries.

  • Spanish-Bible-Reina-Valera-Historic
    Historical facts about the Spanish translation of the Holy Bible (Reina Valera 1909) Copyright www.crystal-bible.com Origin of the “Bible Spanish translation from Reina Valera ”: The Reina-Valera, published in 1569 and nicknamed the Bible of the Bear, was the first complete edition of the Bible in the Spanish language . Casiodoro de Reina (1520-1594), a former Roman Catholic monk and an Independent Evangelical, published his translation of the Bible in 1569. For the Old Testament, This translation was based on the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Bomberg's Edition, 1525), Jewish translation called the Ladino Ferrara Bible (printed 1553) and the Greek Textus Receptus (Stephanus' Edition, 1550). Also, Reina was aided by Vetus Latina for the Old Testament and the Latin Edition of Santes Pagnini throughout. The Old Testament was aided by translations of Francisco de Enzinas and Juan Pérez de Pineda as well. Casiodoro de Reina had a few problems. It omitted the words "by faith" in Romans 3:28, omitted all of Hebrews 12:29 ("For our God is a consuming fire") and included the Apocrypha. [The Apocrypha remained in the Reina-Valera until the "Santa Biblia" edition in 1862.] One of his friends was Cipriano de Valera (1531-1602+), another former monk. In 1596 Valera published a revised translation of the New Testament, and in 1602 he finished the complete Bible in Spanish, following the Textus Receptus more than Reina had. The New Testament probably derives from the Textus Receptus of Erasmus with comparisons to the Vetus Latina and Syriac manuscripts. It is possible that Reina also used the New Testament versions that had been translated first by Francisco de Enzinas (printed in Antwerp 1543) and by Juan Pérez de Pineda (published in Geneva 1556, followed by the Psalms 1562).

  • Octavio Javier Esqueda, Ph.D. Introducción El Catolicismo Romano
    LA IMPORTANCIA DE LA REFORMA ESPAÑOLA PARA LATINOAMÉRICA: APORTACIONES DE ANTONIO DEL CORRO Y CONSTANTINO PONCE DE LA FUENTE1 Octavio Javier Esqueda, Ph.D. Introducción El catolicismo romano ha sido considerado tradicionalmente como una parte esencial de la cultura española y latinoamericana. Por siglos la identidad hispana solamente se ha podido entender dentro del marco de la fe católico romana. Esta situación se dio debido a la unión casi intrínseca entre la Iglesia Católica y el Estado desde los inicios de lo que ahora es España y de sus colonias. Sin embargo, esta situación ha estado cambiando drásticamente no solamente en los últimos años sino desde que el protestantismo ha estado presente hace dos siglos, aunque en sus inicios en forma limitada y marginal, en la cultura hispanoamericana. De hecho, se puede afirmar que el Protestantismo es una fe auténticamente española y latinoamericana. La Reforma Protestante también tuvo lugar en España y aunque floreció siglos después en Latinoamérica, su influencia fue palpable desde sus inicios. Los reformadores españoles fueron impulsados principalmente por su estudio de la Biblia. Las Sagradas Escrituras siempre han tendido una posición esencial en la Reforma y en la vida y práctica del protestantismo. Esta presentación ofrece un panorama general sobre la importancia y ejemplo de la Reforma en España. Además, enfatiza las aportaciones a la ética pedagógica de Constantino Ponce de la Fuente y Antonio del Corro, dos importantes reformadores españoles, que nos han dejado un modelo como grandes educadores cristianos. El catolicismo romano El catolicismo romano fue por siglos la única religión oficial en España y sus colonias y, por lo tanto, tuvo y ha seguido teniendo una influencia fundamental en su cultura e identidad.
