Question

John Eliot (1604-90), known as 'the apostle to the Indians' (1), was born in August 1604 at Widford in Hertfordshire, the son of Bennett Eliot, a yeoman of that county. He grew up at Nazeing, in Essex, and, some time in the year 1617-18, he went up to Jesus College Cambridge, as a pensioner, and matriculated on 20 March 1619. He took his B.A. degree in 1622. His strong Nonconformist opinions led him to depart for New England in 1631.

John Eliot, a New England Puritan pastor, needed a bible for his mission to bring the gospel to the native Americans. The bible he needed was not available anywhere. He had to produce the bible he needed so he produced the Algonquin Bible. John Eliot had gained the confidence of the native Americans. He agreed to learn their language and they agreed to learn the phonetic alphabet used by the western world. John Eliot was then able to produce the Algonquin Bible by translating the bible into the Algonquin language. The result was the Algonquin Bible in the native American tongue.

His first translations were of some short passages of Scriptures, including the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer and some of the psalms.
Early in 1658, he wrote 'The whole book of God is translated into their own language; it wanteth but revising, transcribing, and printing. Oh, that the Lord would so move, that by some means or other it may be printed' (4). His prayer was answered by the Corporation for the Propagating of the Gospel, which financed the publication of his translations of the Book of Genesis and St Matthew's Gospel, in August 1658, and of some of the psalms in December 1658.

In September 1661, his version of the New Testament was published, and a copy was sent to the recently restored Charles II. The complete Bible appeared in 1663, the first edition of the Bible to be published on the American continent and, again, a copy was sent to the king. Other copies were sent to Jesus College Cambridge and to Sion College London. Most of these Algonquin Bibles were destroyed, and the new settlements devastated, during the 'Indian wars' of the 1670s, and Eliot petitioned the Corporation to publish a new edition, a request that they eventually granted. Eliot undertook a thorough revision of his translation for the second edition, the revised version of the New Testament being published in 1681 and the Old Testament in 1685. In 1710, twenty years after Eliot's death, which occurred on 20 May 1690, there was some talk of a third edition of the Bible, but by that time most of the 'praying Indians', as they were called, had learned to read English, and nothing came of the idea.


Thanks.

Answer 1

Ok, so like there was this dude named John Eliot back in the day, like early seventeenth century. His religious views didn’t jive well with what was popular in England so he jumped over the pond to New England, which is now called America. He was totally righteous and had strong convictions to teach Native Americans about God, Jesus, and the whole bible crew. He knew he would need a Bible to get this business started, but there was not a version of the Bible that the Indians could read or understand. Instead of sitting around being bummed about this, he started learning the Native American language and translating the Bible. The Native Americans were cool with this because they were tight with Eliot. His new translation of the Bible became like totally popular for awhile, but then a lot of the Praying Indians, as they were called, learned to speak English and his work was no longer needed. Oh, yeah, dude died in 1690 and they probably buried him or something.

Re-read your information, then tell it to someone, or record yourself saying what you got out of it. Then type it up and see how it looks. All I have to say is that don't copy word for word. Its your grade and you can get into some SERIOUS trouble if you are caught copying. Teachers are not dumb.

Answer 4

No. Just delete some words and change some so they aren't spelt correctly.
