There is something of New Testament Pentecost about The Herald of Christian Science. In the Bible's book of Acts, the account of the apostles gathered from many lands tells of the Gospel being preached in its native Greek, the language commonly spoken at that time, but actually heard by each traveler in his and her own language. See Acts 2:1-12 . Possibly the most instantaneous language translation in the history of the world.
The Herald magazines, beginning in 1903 with the German-language edition, have carried the story of the Christian Science gospel, in 12 major languages around the world. Other special issues of the Herald are occasionally published in print and broadcast in other languages (see chart, page 53).
But, with what motive and for what purpose?
