William Seaman's translation of the Bible (review-text-index)

Missionary activities have been carried out in every period since the monotheistic religions emerged. It is known that Christians had these activities in history, especially among Muslim states. This work, which was published by William Seaman in 1666 and is the first Turkish Bible published at the same time, was written for this purpose. The importance of this work in terms of Turkish language history has been examined in this thesis. In the introduction, subjects such as Christianity, the Bible, and the life of Jesus were mentioned. In the text part, the translation of the work is done, and in the analysis part, the phonetic and morphological features are emphasized. Finally, a grammatical index was prepared.
