In this new episode of “Liana’s Favorite Books,” Dr. Liana Lupas shows off an 1832 Hawaiian New Testament that was originally gifted to American Bible Society by a Hawaiian queen! In addition to learning about how American missionaries brought Christianity to the Hawaiian Islands, you’ll get a close look at the message of gratitude inscribed on this precious volume—a royal message from Queen Kaʻahumanu herself:
“To the American Bible Society, in token of gratitude to that honourable body for the liberal aid in furnishing the Sandwich Islands with the precious Gospel of salvation.”
Join Dr. Lupas in her study and explore this exquisite New Testament today!
