CONTEXT

Name of creator(s): Hooper, J. M. Stirling (b 1882)

Administrative/Biographical history: Reverend J. M. Stirling Hooper (b 1882) was a missionary in India, and a writer of publications on the subject of Bible translation. His publications included:
The approach to the Gospel (London: 1920).
Hymns of the Alvars (Calcutta: Association Press, 1929).
The Bible in India (London: Oxford University Press, 1938) and second edition published under the title Bible Translation in India, Pakistan and Ceylon (Indian Branch, Oxford University Press, 1963).
The temptation and the establishment of the Kingdom of God (Madras: Christian Literature Society for India, 1948).
Greek New Testament terms in Indian Languages: a comparative word list (The Bible Society Of India and Ceylon, 1957).

Custodial history: It is possible that the Reverend Lesslie Newbigin acquired these papers, as they were found amongst Newbigin's papers during the cataloguing of that collection. However, there is no information regarding the separate provenance of Hooper's papers. Cataloguing of the papers was undertaken by the Special Collections Department, University of Birmingham, in February 2001, as a result of the University of Birmingham's relationship with Selly Oak Colleges endowment trust.
