Mohrlang, Roger, 1941-

In 1968 Roger Mohrlang moved into a mud hut in the desert corner of Nigeria. (NOTE: Kelly McBride, "Gospel according to Roger" in The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Washington, July 31, 1997.) He had fallen in love with the Bible, and as a missionary in Africa, wanted to share the book that had changed his life. This led to his attaining a doctorate from the University of Oxford and publication of the New Testament in the Higi language of Nigeria (Folio 2/2). Mohrlang's letters to his family from the missions field are rich in the background leading to the Bible translation.
