	John Eliot - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		ELIOT, JOHN (1604-1690), American colonial clergyman, known as the "Apostle to the Indians," was born probably at Widford, Hertfordshire, England, where he was baptized on the 5th of August 1604.
		Eliot induced the Massachusetts General Court to set aside land for their residence, the same body also voting him Do to prosecute the work, and directing that two clergymen be annually elected by the clergy as preachers to the Indians.
		Yet at Eliot's death, which occurred at Roxbury on the 21st of May 1690, the missions were at the height of their prosperity, and that the results of his labours were not permanent was due only to the racial traits of the New England tribes.

	John Eliot (missionary) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Eliot (baptized 5 August 1604 - 21 May 1690) was a Puritan missionary born in Widford, Hertfordshire, England.

	John Eliot and Nonatum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Eliot dealt with this problem, first, by devising an Algonquian grammar (thus giving their language written form), and then by translating both the Old and New Testaments into that complex tongue, a herculean task that he did not finally complete until 1663.
		John Eliot was born in Widford, Hertfordshire, England in 1604, the younger son of Bennett Eliot, a wealthy landowner.
		Accompanying Eliot to Waban's encampment were three companions, Thomas Shepard, Minister of Cambridge; Daniel Gookin, afterwards Supervisor of Indian towns for the Massachusetts Bay Colony; and either John Wilson, Minister of Boston, or Elder Heath of Roxbury (on this point the record is unclear).

	John Eliot
		ELIOT, John, first styled "the Indian apostle" by Thomas Thorowgood in 1660, a designation so appropriate that it has secured universal and perpetual acceptance, born probably in Widford, Hertfordshire, England, as there is a record of his baptism in that parish on 5 August '1604; died in Roxbury, Massachusetts, 21 May 1690.
		Eliot : "That he had entered into holy orders in the Church of England before he left home is evident from the insertion of his name in the list given by Neal of the emigrant clergy." The Church of England was then dealing rigorously with those who did not conform to her doctrines and ordinances.
		Eliot was convinced that the Indians must give up their roving habits and become members of settled communities before they could make much progress in the Christian life.

	BIO: John Eliot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		John Eliot was born in Hertfordshire, England, in 1604 and graduated from Cambridge in 1622.
		Eliot planned towns for Indian converts, away from the white towns, in areas where they could preserve their own language and culture and live by their own laws.
		Eliot's Indian towns grew to fourteen in number, with thousands of inhabitants, but they were scattered in King Philip's War in 1675 (King Philip was an Indian leader who undertook to drive the English out of New England), and although four communities were restored, they did not continue long.

	Eliot Bible Leaves: The 1663 First Bible Printed In America
		Eliot’s Bible did much more than bring the Gospel to the pagan natives who were worshiping creation rather than the Creator… it gave them literacy, as they did not have a written language of their own until this Bible was printed for them.
		But the kind of Bible John Eliot needed for his missionary outreach to the native American “Indians” was certainly not to be found in England, or anywhere else.
		Eliot recognized that one of the main reasons why the native Americans were considered "primitive" by European settlers, is that they did not have a written alphabet of their own.

	The Tribes & the States, Chapter 8
		The missionary did not encounter the usual difficulty of intolerance, because the Penacook peoples believed in the freest expression of opinion; but that very fact made the denunciatory style ineffective, and considerable modification was necessary.
		Eliot had his converts, especially among the tribes that received white colonies among them; but most of these converts never acquired the fanaticism that possessed the Puritan refugees who had come over on a religious crusade.
		Eliot considered it a victory that the Okamakammessets let the white settlers build a church in the capital town of Okamakammesset itself, for the uses of the inhabitants of the adjoining Puritan town of Marlborough; but we shall see that this permission had strategic reasons which Eliot never even considered.

	BookRags: John Eliot Biography
		John Eliot, traditionally remembered as "the Apostle to the Indians," remains one of the most distinctive figures among the first-generation New England ministers, although his stature rests more on the magnitude of his undertakings and the qualities of his character as reported by others than on the books he left behind him.
		For Eliot, the central book in human history was the Bible: the source of his evangelical vision, the grounding for his theory of governance, and the essential foundation of any Christian life.
		Even though a bibliographer can list many books written or translated by Eliot, he was essentially a man of this one book, and his faith in its power led to one of the most remarkable life stories among the Puritan clergy.

	Missiology
		At no period in its history has the church either totally forgotten its missionary task or failed to engage in a measure of serious reflection on the basic questions which this has raised.
		One can hardly have a living congregation that is not to some extent missionary, even if its outreach is only along kinship lines and within racial boundaries.
		Since then, the gatherings of this conference's stepchildren, the International Missionary Council (until Ghana, 1958) and the Commission on World Mission and Evangelism of the World Council of Churches (after New Delhi, 1961), have continued to reflect on a great variety of aspects of the science of mission.
