So the Bible is only one of many religious works being written in American Sign Language now... I believe someone else is attempting a translation of another religious book from the Jewish faith? And years ago, there was a group from the Mormon church translating their Book of Mormon into ASL, and they tried to use SignWriting for the written part of their work.... And I hope that other important world literature will become available someday, such as the Koran and writings related to eastern religions.... -- Val ;-) ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org To Post A Message To The SW List: SignWriting List Archives: https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l |
