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

""A Defense of the Surinam Negro-English Version of the New Testament"" is a book written by William Greenfield and published in 1830. The book discusses the translation of the New Testament into the Surinam Negro-English language, which was spoken by enslaved Africans in Suriname. Greenfield argues that this translation is important because it allows enslaved people to access the teachings of Christianity in their own language, which can help them to find hope and solace in their difficult circumstances. He also defends the quality of the translation, refuting criticisms that it is inaccurate or poorly done. The book provides insight into the history of Christianity in Suriname and the role that language played in the lives of enslaved people. Overall, ""A Defense of the Surinam Negro-English Version of the New Testament"" is an important work for understanding the intersection of religion, language, and slavery in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
