On February 6, 1812, Adoniram Judson was ordained a Congregationalist minister. He sailed for Calcutta on February 19. While on board ship a very unusual thing happened. Judson, ever an extrememly gifted linguist and student of the Greek text of the New Testament, came to view adult baptism by immersion as the clear teaching of the New Covenant. Judson had to carefully and soberly count the cost of what he had discovered and the result was that he embraced decidedly Baptist beliefs. Upon arriving in India, Judson and his wife Ann submitted to believer's baptism at the hands of the famous Baptist missionary, William Carey. American Baptists soon adopted the Judsons as their first foreign missionaries, and the rest of the story is a tale of great faith and continued courage.

Christian baptism

Audubon Press

This is the 1826 edition of the Burmese-English dictionary compiled from a grammar and other manuscripts written by the American Baptist missionary Adoniram Judson (1788-1850), with additional content by fellow missionaries Felix Carey and James Coleman. Prepared by the Baptist Mission Press while Judson was imprisoned on suspicion of spying in Ava, it is the fruit of his work towards making the written word an evangelistic tool. He was convinced from the first that the translation and publication of Christian scriptures and a familiarity with indigenous languages and customs was the most effective and enduring form of evangelism, and to this end he published a Burmese New Testament in 1832. Judson finished compiling his groundbreaking and comprehensive bilingual dictionary in 1849, shortly before his death. This earlier work, with headwords in Burmese script followed by English definitions, remains relevant in historical linguistics.
