Publisher's Synopsis
The Corean Martyrs: A Narrative is a historical book written by John Rutherford Shortland in 1869. The book tells the story of the Christian missionaries who were martyred in Korea during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Shortland provides a detailed account of the lives and deaths of these brave men and women who risked their lives to spread the gospel in a hostile environment. The book also sheds light on the political and social conditions of Korea during that period, and the challenges faced by the missionaries in their efforts to convert the local population. The Corean Martyrs: A Narrative is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in Asia, and the sacrifices made by those who dedicated their lives to the faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
