Art and Culture - Module 10 - Reformation and Counter-ReformationRandy Connolly
Tenth module for GNED 1201 (Aesthetic Experience and Ideas). This one mainly covers the Reformation and Counter-Reformation of the 16th and early 17th Century. It also covers aesthetic responses to the Reformation, especially Caravaggio and Bernini.
This course is a required general education course for all first-year students at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada. My version of the course is structured as a kind of Art History and Culture course. Some of the content overlaps with my other Gen Ed course.
The meaning of Christmas is found in a story. Not in the stories about Santa, Frosty, the Grinch, etc., but in the story of Baby Jesus. And that story is true. It really happened!

The Hope of Salvation - Jude 1:24-25 - MessageCole Hartman
Jude gives us hope at the end of a dark letter. In a dark world like today, we need the light of Christ to shine brighter and brighter. Jude shows us where to fix our focus so we can be filled with God's goodness and glory. Join us to explore this incredible passage.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

3. Historically Significant
Bible Translations
In the 20th century there have been 6 major English
translations published (and ~88 minor translations!)
ASV (1901); RSV (1952); NASB (1971); NIV (1978); NKJV
(1982); NRSV (1990)
But English-speaking Christians already had many
Bibles in their language for centuries
GNV (1599); KJV (1611); YLT (1862); DBY (1884); ERV (1885);
DRA (1899)
Many (most?) cultures did not have access to the Bible
in their vernacular tongue
Based on this fact, from a worldwide perspective of
God’s Kingdom, the publication of the first Bible
translation in a language is therefore historically
significant compared to a new translation for a language
“already covered”. 3
4. Christianity’s
Southern Shift
One of the crucial developments of the 20 th
century has been the shift of Christianity’s
center of gravity from the Northern to the
Southern hemisphere
Although the percentage of Christians in
the global south has been slowly rising
since 1500, percentage growth since 1900
has been precipitous 4

10. The Turning Point?
William Townsend’s
Moment of Crisis
Mission trip to Guatemala
In 1917 Christian missionary William Cameron
Townsend traveled to Guatemala to distribute
Spanish-language Bibles
A native Guatemalan, upon being handed a Spanish
Bible, asked Townsend, “If your God is so smart, why
doesn’t he speak Cakchiquel?”
Townsend eventually settled in a Cakchiquel-
speaking community for 14 years, learning the
language so as to translate the Bible in
Cakchiquel 10
11. Symbolic Turning Point: Spread
of Bible Translations
1934. Founding of Wycliffe Bible
Translators (WBT)
Founded by William Townsend (1896-1982)
after he returned to USA from Guatemala
WBT is the most vigorous promoter of foreign
Bible translation and distribution
Draws most of its workers from North
American & Europe

12. Significance of a Vernacular
Bible for a Culture
Western Europe
Jerome’s Bible translation into Latin immensely
impacted the Middle Ages
Luther’s Bible translation shaped German language
and literature
KJV and other English Bible translations shaped the
faith and life of Britain in its colonies
Vernacular Bible translations in other European
countries significantly shaped the culture
12
13. What Does the Future Hold?
In the 20th century, the Bible has been
translated into the vernacular for these
language groups (among others):
isiZulu (Africa)
Hausa (Africa)
KingyaRwanda (Africa)
Tibetan (Asia)
Vietnamese (Asia)
Tagalog (Philippines)
Various languages (China) 13
14. Magnitude of Translation Efforts
Full vernacular translations of the Bible
As of 1989. There were 289 separate languages with
a version. Of these, 170 (59%) were published in the
20th century.
Partial vernacular translations of the Bible
1900. Portions of the Bible were available in
approximately 537 different languages.
1980. Portions of the Bible were available in
approximately 1811 different languages.
Far more individual language groups, and the
cultures that these languages define, have
received the Bible during the 20th century than in
the preceding 1900 years of church history!
14
16. Implications of Massive
Bible Translation Efforts
The message of Christ (the gospel) that
missionaries brought is eclipsed by the message
they left (the vernacular Bible)
The drama of Pentecost and Church History
continues
As at Pentecost, people are hearing the message of
the Bible in their own tongues
The gospel message of the universality of salvation
becomes more real when it arises from within a
culture rather than outside a culture
The possession of the Bible in the vernacular
language often begins to effect a process of
Christianization of the culture 16
17. Importance of Vernacular
Scriptures
There is a radical pluralism implied in
vernacular translation wherein all
languages and cultures are, in principle,
equal in expressing the word of God…Two
general ideas stem from this analysis.
First is the inclusive principle whereby no
culture is excluded from the Christian
dispensation or even judged solely or
ultimately by Western cultural criteria.
(cont’d)
17
18. Importance of Vernacular
Scriptures
Second is the ethical principle of change as
a check to cultural self-absolutization.
Both of these ideas are rooted in what
missionaries understood by God’s
universal truth as this was revealed in
Jesus Christ, with the need and duty to
work out this fact in the vernacular
medium rather than in the uniform
framework of cultural homogeneity.
* Gambian mission historian Lamin Sanneh 18
20. Questions for Discussion
What factors would contribute to worldwide
distribution of vernacular Bible translations
becoming a significant turning point in church
history? What factors would be hindrances?
The USA is increasingly becoming less culturally
homogeneous due (among other things) to
immigration of non-English speakers. How
might vernacular Bible versions foster unity in
America? How might they encourage
multicultural fragmentation?
20
21. Application for Today’s
Church
How ought the church use vernacular
Bible versions in ministry to speakers of
other languages?
Discuss some inherent dangers in the
process of translating and distributing the
Bible into vernacular languages.
Discuss strategies to overcome these
dangers.
