A Residence Eight Years in Persia, Among the Nestorian Christians: With Notices of the Muhammedans (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Residence Eight Years in Persia, Among the Nestorian Christians: With Notices of the Muhammedans
I am happy to acknowledge my obligation to the Rev. R. Ander son, D. D., one of the respected secretaries of the A. B. C. F. M and to my esteemed friend and former instructor, the Rev. Prof. N. W. Fiske, of Amherst College, for valuable advice, in relation to the preparation of this work. But if it shall prove acceptable to the reader, it will be especially owing to the unwearied aid of another esteemed college teacher and friend, the Rev. Prof. B. B. Edwards, of the Theological Seminary at Andover, who has kindly taken the trouble to revise my copy and assist me in correcting the proofs, and whose familiar acquaintance with oriental countries and sub jects, and experience as an author and an editor, are of course a sufficient warrant, that no work of the kind could pass under his supervision, without material benefit.

This book takes readers on a captivating journey to Persia, offering a unique and insightful exploration of the Nestorian Christians, a small but ancient community with a rich history and enduring faith. The author, who lived among the Nestorians for eight years, provides a firsthand account of their lives, customs, and religious practices. Nestled amidst the rugged mountains of Kurdistan and the fertile plains of Oroomiah, the Nestorians have faced centuries of challenges and persecution. Despite their dwindling numbers, they have maintained their distinct identity and unwavering devotion to Christianity. The author sheds light on their origins, tracing their lineage back to the early days of the faith and highlighting their connection to the apostle Thomas. Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, the book delves into the Nestorians' daily lives, their agricultural practices, their interactions with the surrounding Muslim population, and the complexities of their social structure.
