Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the powerful story of religious persecution in 19th-century Madeira, an island off the coast of Portugal. The narrative centers on the experiences of Robert Kalley, a Scottish physician who, while en route to China as a missionary, found himself drawn to the island's desperate need for religious freedom. He began by distributing Bibles and establishing schools, inspiring a religious awakening that threatened the power of the Catholic Church. The book vividly chronicles the subsequent persecution of Madeira's Protestant converts. The author meticulously recounts the harsh treatment endured by these individuals, from imprisonment and torture to the loss of their homes and livelihoods. The story offers a unique perspective on the enduring power of faith in the face of relentless opposition. It is a stirring account of the struggle for religious liberty, showing how even in a seemingly tolerant era, the forces of intolerance can manifest in brutal ways. This book reveals the true nature of religious persecution in a way that resonates with our own times, reminding us that the pursuit of faith is not always a path of peace.
