Description
Zoe’s father Henry Tompkins Anderson retranslated the New Testament from ancient texts through the lens of the Disciples of Christ, an evangelical sect he had joined in his youth. Few copies sold (various bindings were offered). Zoe’s sister Pickett Anderson Timmins published another version in 1918, and it remains in print. Henry considered scholarly labors a “divine call,” while Zoe’s mother Henrietta tended their large brood. Zoe similarly sloughed off material cares while fighting for the poor with words.
