NOVEMBER I, 1954
Second Portion
Of Bible Film
To Be Shown Wed.
The second section of a thrilling
sound film which faithfully traces
the origins and development of
the Holy Bible, entitled "Our Bible
.—How It Came To Us," will be
shown in First Baptist Church at
Rusk, on Nov. 14th at 7:15 p.m., it
was announced today by Lonnie
H. Webb, Pastor.
Produced by the American Bible
Society, "Our Bible—How It'Came
To Us," has been hailed as the
most authentic document ever
made on the history of the Bible.
Years of diligent planning, re-
search and scholastic collabora-
tion went into the script before
the first actor took his place be-
fore the camera. It has a cast of
over ¡250 players.
The second section shows how
the Bible slowly spread across Eu-
rope during the third and fourth
centuries through the devoted ef-
forts of careful copyists and great
translators. Among the outstand-
ing translations of this period id
that of Jerome, the Latin Vulgate.
The Goths brought destruction to
western Europe but the copying
of manuscripts still persisted irt
the monasteries and the Bible
gradually spread into northern Eu-
rope and into the British Isles.
The film depicts the thirst of
the people for the Bible, and the
martyrdoms and oppressions they
faced for daring to possess a copy.
It reveals how, despite these per-
secutions, translation and Bible
reading persisted until finally, a
translation of the entire Bible in
English made its appearance un-
der the auspices of Wyclif.
The public is invited to see this
inspiring film.
