About This Book

The account describes a female seminary established among Nestorian Christians in Persia, detailing living conditions, teaching methods, daily routines, and the school’s curriculum; it compiles letters, journals, and sketches to trace spiritual awakenings, conversions, and periodic revivals as well as episodes of opposition, persecution, and domestic struggle. It profiles early teachers and pupils, missionary strategies for education and prayer, community responses, and outreach into surrounding villages, and includes compositions, correspondence, and illustrations that document hospitality, hardships, and gradual social and religious changes among women and families.
