Americans take the Bible for granted, pretty much.
Most anybody who wants to can buy, borrow, or read a Bible, not only in King James English, but in any of dozens of translations that take advantage of recent scholarship and research to add insight and accuracy.
And, yes, these translations are also in English. And with what reverence and enthusiasm do we (you and I) read the Word?
The Kimyals in West Papua, Indonesia, are thrilled to be receiving translations of the Bible in their own language. They raise the bar for joy in being able to read their BIbles.
I found their celebration very humbling.
