A Defense Of The Surinam Negro-English Version Of The New Testament (1830)

by William Greenfield

Book Overview

""A Defense Of The Surinam Negro-English Version Of The New Testament"" is a book written by William Greenfield in 1830. The book is a defense of the Surinam Negro-English version of the New Testament, which was translated into English by a group of enslaved Africans in Suriname in the late 18th century. The book argues that the translation is accurate and should be considered a legitimate version of the New Testament, despite criticisms from some scholars at the time. Greenfield also discusses the importance of allowing enslaved people to have access to the Bible in their own language and the role of Christianity in promoting the abolition of slavery. The book provides valuable insight into the history of the translation of the Bible into different languages and the role of religion in the fight against slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
