Early history of the Mission to the Nestorians was prolific in literature. The works of Rev. Dr. Perkins and Dr. Grant, the story of Miss Fidelia Fiske, as told in Woman and Her Saviour in Persia, Faith Working by Love, the biographies dard, Lobdell and Rhea have made accessible and some what familiar the first period of the mission. Little has been written concerning the later history, since the transfer of the mission from the American Board to the Presbyterian Board at the time of the reunion. The quarter-centennial of that event seems a fitting time to record the story of its progress. Its scope and territorial limits have been greatly enlarged; one station has become six, eleven missionaries have in creased to fifty-nine, comprised in two missions, called the Western Persia and the Eastern Persia Missions.

Book Synopsis The Western Christian Presence in the Russias and Qājār Persia, c.1760–c.1870 by : Thomas O'Flynn
Download or read book The Western Christian Presence in the Russias and Qājār Persia, c.1760–c.1870 written by Thomas O'Flynn. This book was released on 2017-08-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of The 2018 Saidi-Sirjani Book Award In The Western Christian Presence in the Russias and Qājār Persia, c.1760–c.1870, Thomas O'Flynn vividly paints the life and times of missionary enterprises in early nineteenth-century Russia and Persia at a moment of immense change when Tsarist Russia embarked on an expansionist campaign reaching to the Caucasus. Simultaneously he charts the relationship between the new Persian dynasty of the Qājārs and missionary activity on the part of European and American missionaries. This book reconstructs that world from a predominantly religious perspective. It recounts the sustaining ideals as well as the everyday struggles of the western missionaries, Protestant (Scottish, Basel and American Congregationalist) and Catholic (Jesuit and Vincentian). It looks at the reactions of diverse tribal peoples, the Tatars of the North Caucasus, the Kabardians and Circassians. Persia was the ultimate goal of these missionaries, which they eventually reached in the 1820s. Altogether this study throws light on the troubled course of history in West Asia and provides the background to politico-religious conflicts in Chechnya and Persia that persist to the present day.
