David Sheldon Fearon - a gentle, faithful man who lived quietly behind a secret for most of his life, yet whose letters, written in 1959, would one day matter to millions of people he would never meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt twenty-one years old, closeted and alone in his first year of seminary, David wrote the only academic challenge to the Revised Standard Version translation team's decision to combine two Greek words, malakoi and arsenokoitai, and render them as \"homosexuals\" in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. He signed the letter with only his first and middle names, mailed it from a post office box so no one would know, and went back to his studies. He told no one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the next sixty years, David kept his secret - serving thirty-five years in ministry in the United Church of Canada, loving his partner Joe, and never once imagining that his letters had survived. He had no way of knowing they were sitting in the Yale archives, waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2017, researchers found the letters. In 2018, they found him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt eighty years old, Rev. David Fearon came out for the first time - and learned that the careful, courageous words he had written alone as a young seminary student had outlasted him, and would now be read by people around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story he never got to tell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Canyonwalker Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951136222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.21d","brand":"Kathy Baldock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52774329483445,"sku":"9781951136222","price":7.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wish-to-express-the-story-he-never-got-tell-david-fearon-and-the-1946-bible-mistranslation-the-story-he-never-got-tell-david-fearon-and-the-1946-bi-9781951136222","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
