Consecration Service for Korean SDA Bible Commentary
A consecration service for the completed Korean SDA Bible Commentary was held on January 25, 2006 at the Korean Union Conference Headquarters Church in Seoul. As A great historical project in Korea, the translation and publication of the SDA Bible Commentary in Korean edition was completed in 2005. About 70 translators, 15 editorial supervisors, and other staff members has dedicated for this huge task. The Korean SDA Bible Commentary consists of 14 volumes with 10,416 pages which were translated from the English 7 volume one. In addition to the 14 books, this publication includes two appendices for difficult passages in the Old Testament and the New Testament. So far there have been only two language (English and Spanish) editions of the SDA Bible Commentary except the Korean one.
The consecration service was joined by about 150 people including the Korean Adventist Church leaders and some representative from the Korean Bible Society. Young-Jin Min, General Secretary of the Korean Bible Society who attended the consecration service, said, “The text, arrangement, editing, and etc. compare quite well with any others. It is excellent. I wish Korean Christians will read this commentary to study and understand God’s Word.” The KUC president Hong, Myung Kwan said, “It is completed with a good timing for the remnant people to strengthen their Adventist identity. I hope that some early-church-like revival movement will happen through this commentary which can reduce being confused with regard to biblical interpretation.”
