Abstract

Third major revision of the Finnish Bible (Old and New Testament).

In 1912 the Synod of the Finnish Church appointed a Committee to revise the text of the Finnish Bible. The original members of the Committee were S.E. Stenij, who died in 1925 and was replaced by Antii F. Puukko, T.J. Schwartzberg, who died in 1915 and was replaced by R.F.P. Oinonen for a year and later by J.A. Mannermaa, and A.L.M. Hjelt, who died in 1931 and was replaced by A.F. Peltonen. Juhani Aho and O. Manninen were the Committee's experts on the Finnish language.

The first volume containing the Old Testament was published in 1932. The Preface, giving the history of Finnish Bible translations from 1548, was signed by J.A. Mannermaa, Dean and Chairman of the Translation Committee, A.F. Puukko and Aug. F. Peltonen.
