Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Acts of the Apostles describes the first decade of the nascent Christian community, and reads like a spiritual adventure story. This is a companion to the Cherokee syllabary-only New Testament digitized and released in 2013. Translated into Cherokee in the nineteenth century under the direction of Revs. Samuel Worcester and Elias Boudinot, the Cherokee New Testament is the largest complex text composed in Cherokee by fluent speakers with command of a high level of the language. For generations, the New Testament has been used by Cherokees of all persuasions to learn to speak and write as their ancestors did. While the four gospels speak of the life of Jesus, Acts documents the founding of His Church, as his followers stand up to the mission they have been given is considered the most poetic and literary of the four Gospels, Tradition claims the author was Luke, the Apostle Paul's personal physician, who accompanied him on this travels. The Cherokee translators strove to use a level of the Cherokee language that did justice to the Greek, as they translated from the Textus Receptus rather than the English King James Version or the Latin Vulgate. Deepen your understanding of the Cherokee Bible and the Cherokee language by reading each verse in Cherokee syllabary, phonetic Cherokee, and English.

This book was released on 2018-07-23 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why do you stand here staring into the sky?" Acts of the Apostles can be read as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke. It was written to be read aloud to a group of Christians gathered for the Communion. The author engages the reader by questioning a Christian's proper relationship with the Roman Empire, the civil power of the day: could a Christian obey God and also Caesar? The answer is ambiguous then, and still is. The Romans had (so far) never move against Jesus or his followers unless provoked by the Jews. In the trial scenes described, the Christian missionaries are always cleared of charges of violating Roman laws. Stephen's exposition in chapters 6 and 7 summarizes the history of the tribes of Israel from the journey of Abraham through the Egyptian captivity and exodus, and up to the betrayal and execution of Jesus by the Jewish authorities. Acts of the Apostles ends in Rome, with Paul proclaiming the Christian message under Roman protection. After the stoning of Stephen and conversion of Paul, the closing chapter of Acts can also be seen as a break with Jewish identity and leadership, and the transition of the Gospel to the larger Greco-Roman world. We present this Gospel in larger print to accommodate those who would like to study the characters in Cherokee, several of which are difficult to distinguish from one another in smaller type. We provide phonetic Cherokee and English for each verse, and the layout was executed to keep each verse to a single page, eliminating the need to flip pages to find stray bit of a verse. We recommend you sound out each word using the syllabary guide in the back of the book. The English used herein is drawn from the King James Version, The original translation into Cherokee drew from the Greek Textus Receptus, and required some creativity to present Mediterranean concepts strange to Native America. For example, the Hebrew 'gè'ben-hinnom' is simplified in Greek to 'gehenna'. A place of burnt offerings and Jerusalem's trash dump, it represents the destination of unascended spirits, and so was replaced in Cherokee with tsusginayi, which we have translated back into English as "the Ghostland." Proceeds from the sale of this volume benefit the Cherokee Bible Project and the Four Rivers Native American Church in their missions.
