James Ford Lecture 4: Language
Vernacular language ministry was central to the Reformation; yet early modern Protestant missionaries persistently underestimated the significance of language barriers, often attempting flawed, short-cut solutions. This lecture will consider why the Reformation experience proved so misleading and show that, when these problems were overcome, the effects could be striking.
