The attention of the Church Missionary Society has for many years been directed toward that interesting country, which forms the subject of the present volume. In the plans which were formed, now twenty years ago, for the Mediterranean Mission, it was considered that the evangelizing of the nations adjacent to that inland sea was a work intimately connected with the revival and reformation of the Oriental Churches; and among these, the Christian Church of Abyssinia presents a very conspicuous and essential object A bout the time of the arrival of the Society s, first Missionary in Malta, in the year 1815, a still deeper interest was excited respecting that country; from its being known that a Native had been for some years engaged, at Cairo, in translating the Scriptures into A mharic, the principal vernacular Abyssinian Language. This Amharic Version of the entire Bible was purchased at Cairo, by the Rev. W. Jowetfc on account of the British and Foreign Bible Society, in 1820.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the experiences of a missionary sent to bring the gospel to the people of Abyssinia, in the early 19th century. The journal entries provide a first-hand account of the state of the country at that time, and the adversity faced by the missionary in his work to spread Christianity throughout the region. However, the book offers more than a simple narrative of one man's journey: it presents an in-depth analysis of the history, traditions, and religious practices of the people in the region. The author also delves into the political dynamics between the Christian and Muslim populations in the area, and provides a fascinating look at the impact of colonialism on African society. The journal entries are also insightful for their descriptions of the day-to-day challenges of life in Abyssinia, and provide a glimpse into the daily struggles of the local people. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in African history, missiology, or the impact of Western culture on indigenous societies.
