Adoniram Judson

Adoniram Judson (1788–1850) war ein US-amerikanischer Missionar und Sprachwissenschaftler, der fast vier Jahrzehnte lang im heutigen Myanmar wirkte. Er schuf die erste vollständige burmesische Bibelübersetzung, begründete die dortige baptistische Bewegung und setzte seine Arbeit trotz politischer Verdächtigungen und langer Gefängnishaft fort. Bibellesern veranschaulicht sein Wirken den Einsatz für Bibelübersetzungen sowie eine von Leidensbereitschaft und Ausdauer geprägte Glaubenspraxis unter schwierigen äußeren Bedingungen.
