A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

While out on lecture tours in this country, I have been asked many questions about the manners, customs, and peculiarities of my own people, the Nestorian Christians of Persia, called by their scholars Assyrian Christians, and abbreviated by the people into Syrians. These questions I have found it very difficult to answer so as to give anything like a clear picture either of the people or the country in the brief time that I had to answer them under such circumstances, and, hence this book which I now present to the public, with the earnest hope that it may find a welcome. Should it sometimes entertain you and your children; should it succeed in arousing a deeper interest in Christian mission work among the Mohammedan nations; and should it sometimes prompt an earnest prayer on our behalf to the ever present God and Father whom we all try, though it. may be in much human weakness and under vastly different circumstances, to love and to serve then its object is accomplished. JOSEPH KNANISHU. Rock I sland, 111.
