Publisher's Synopsis
The Unoccupied Mission Fields of Africa and Asia is a book written by Samuel Marinus Zwemer and published in 1911. The book is a detailed exploration of the unoccupied mission fields in Africa and Asia, and it highlights the need for Christian missionaries to expand their work in these regions.Zwemer, a renowned Christian missionary and scholar, draws on his extensive experience in Africa and Asia to provide a comprehensive analysis of the religious and cultural landscape of these regions. He argues that the lack of Christian presence in many areas of Africa and Asia has left a significant void that needs to be filled by dedicated missionaries.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on Africa and provides a detailed account of the various tribes and nations in the continent, their religious beliefs, and the challenges faced by Christian missionaries in reaching out to them. The second part of the book focuses on Asia, and covers topics such as the religions of India, the Islamic world, and the Buddhist countries of the East.Throughout the book, Zwemer emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and understanding in missionary work. He also provides practical advice on how to navigate the challenges of working in unfamiliar and often hostile environments.Overall, The Unoccupied Mission Fields of Africa and Asia is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian missions and the challenges faced by missionaries in the early 20th century. It remains relevant today as a reminder of the ongoing need for Christian outreach in many parts of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
