The Maltese translation of the Bible is the product of literary and religious factors and, to a certain extent, private enterprise. For many long centuries, i.e. until the dosing years of the eighteenth century, the Maltese language was never used for literary purposes, the languages of education being Latin and Italian. The earlier Maltese writers found an enormous difficulty to reduce to some sort of Latin script a Semitic language which had many sounds that were absent in Romance languages. Moreover up to the beginning of the nineteenth century the education of the population was very poor. In the year 1836 there were only three Government Elementary schools: one in Valletta, the capital, another in Senglea and the third, very poorly attended, in Gozo, the sister Island, in all of which the instruction was of a meagre and wretched character. As there were very few who could write and read Maltese, the need of a Maltese translation of the Bible was not yet felt. ; N/A

Dr. Eugene Osterhaven has dedicated himself to the principle of the Reformation that all of life must be lived according to the Word of God as revealed in the Scriptures. This principle is significant not only for the life of the individual believer and the faith of the church. He also applied it to civil governments and public life. With the dissolving of transcendental foundations international law has practically disappeared and the world political picture is one of near chaos. What is needed is an adequate foundation on which a doctrine of the state can be built, one of our most urgent political tasks today. In our judgment that foundation must be derived from principles found in scripture. Here men learn that God is the Lord and that all authority and blessing derive from him. Professor Osterhaven thus stands with the whole Reformed tradition in affirming the public role of the Law of God which in the words of Calvin was recorded on "public" tablets. The Scriptures are not simply God's gift to believing individuals or the church, but to people of all ages. "And surely in this respect God has, by his singular providence, taken thought for mortals through all ages." In the Reformed tradition, the Bible as God's gift to his world is not a sectarian book.
