Review:

  • Rebmann-scientist Dr. Steven Paas is the rediscoverer of Rebmann's dictionary of the Kiniassa language which is nowadays known as Chichewa/Chinyanja and spoken by at least 15 m people, e.g. in Malawi. Dr. Paas is author of the latest dictionary of this language. For the work on his Rebmann biography, he visited the archives in Birmingham/England and Basle/Switzerland to expand and complete his knowledge about Johannes Rebmann. 
    • In his lecture on June 1, 2011, Dr. Paas presented his reasearch results on "Johannes Rebmann in spiritual and linguistic perspectives".
There were lots of visitors on June 1, 2011. Besides Gerlingen inhabitants, the consul general of Malawi attended also the speach.Zuschauer
