S’gaw Karen Books & Bibles FAQ
An Overview of Christianity and the S’gaw Karen Language
Christianity arrived among the S'gaw Karen people of Myanmar and Thailand in the early 19th century, largely through the efforts of American Baptist missionaries like Adoniram Judson and, notably, George Boardman. Many Karen, who had an indigenous tradition of monotheistic beliefs, found resonance with Christian teachings. In 1830, the first Karen convert, Ko Tha Byu, was baptized, catalyzing a significant Christian movement among the Karen. Over time, the S'gaw Karen developed a distinct Christian community, heavily influenced by missionary teachings and the establishment of Karen Baptist churches. The S'gaw Karen language was also codified in part through missionary work, including the creation of the S'gaw Karen Bible, which helped to unify Christian teachings and literacy efforts among the Karen. Today, Christianity remains a core component of Karen identity, especially for those in Myanmar and among diaspora communities, where it continues to play a central role in social and cultural life.
