    The story behind the new Mohawk translation of the Bible

    The story behind the new Mohawk translation of the Bible

    It's been a 200-year journey for a complete Mohawk translation of the Bible to find its way into the world. The first translation in the history of the Bible Society was the translation of the Gospel of John in Mohawk by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1804. In 1880, the four Gospels were translated by Sosé Onasakenrat of Kanesatake, In 2023, the Mohawk Bible is now complete, thanks to the tireless translation work of Onasakenrat's great grandson Harvey Satewas Gabriel.

    Karen Stiller is joined by Phil Wagler, host of the All Things Reconciled Podcast, to speak with Bible translator Harvey Satewas Gabriel and Jeff Green, vice-president of Scripture translation at the Canadian Bible Society.

    You will enjoy this warm, vulnerable and fascinating discussion that explores the power of language, the beauty of this family history of translation, and what projects like this bring to reconciliation.

    Finding Light in the Darkness with Philip Yancey - Ep. 218

    Finding Light in the Darkness with Philip Yancey - Ep. 218

    How do we navigate deep disappointment and grief, and keep our faith intact? Does God send tragedy our way to help us grow? Author Philip Yancey engages in conversation with Karen Stiller about holding onto God and others in our hardest moments.

    Philip Yancey visited Canada recently on a speaking tour for Effect Hope, a charity that addresses neglected tropical diseases like leprosy. He is well suited for this work, as a beloved author fearlessly tackling big topics in his bestselling books, like Disappointment with God, Where is God When it Hurts?, and What's so Amazing About Grace, and an extremely transparent memoir Where the Light Fell.
