The Bear Bible
Earlier this month Mark was up in Margos teaching pastors the first part of the course “Introduction to the Bible.” The course begins with very basic facts, which turned out to be new information for many of those taking the course.
The course includes history of the Spanish Bible. The first complete Bible translated from the original languages into Spanish was known as La Biblia del Oso or “The Bear Bible.” The title page had this drawing of a bear seeking after honey. What does that have to do with God’s Word, you may ask? Well, we should desire God’s word like a bear desires honey. Both are sweet! The Quechua pastors liked that.
