About This Book

The author chronicles the American Board's missionary operations among Eastern Christian communities, Jews, and Muslims, recounting the establishment, development, and challenges of missions in Palestine, Syria, Armenia, Persia and neighboring regions. Narrative sections combine institutional decisions, missionary biographies, accounts of persecution and cultural encounters, and summaries of educational, medical, and publishing work. The book explains the editorial choices for organizing multiple mission histories, presents lists of personnel and publications, and reflects on providential guidance and practical lessons learned, aiming to record facts and the more obvious teachings of experience rather than to construct a philosophical theory of missions.
