An Interview with Dumitru Cornilescu from 1974: A Fresh Look at his Activity as a Bible Translator

Summary/Abstract: One year before his death, Dumitru Cornilescu (1891-1975) was visited by a group of Romanian Evangelicals at his home in Montreux, Switzerland. Among the visitors were Iancu Moscovici, a Lutheran pastor based in Hamburg, Peter Truța, a Baptist pastor based in Hollywood, Florida, and Ionel Truța, who was in charge of “Speranța” Church in Arad, Romania. Also attending the meeting was pastor Ieremia Hodoroabă, who was known for his broadcasts from Radio Monte Carlo. During the visit, Lidia Truța, Ionel Truța’s wife, recorded various questions addressed to Cornilescu by members of the Romanian group. The resulting haphazard interview, totaling 95 minutes, has surfaced recently and is now made available in an edited form, for a wider audience, with numerous notes and comments. The transcription helps clarify the early history of Cornilescu’s activity as a Bible translator, while also bringing to light previously unknown information which could be of use for specialists interested in the religious history of the Romanian interwar period.
