Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

My Missionary Apprenticeship is a book written by James Mills Thoburn and first published in 1884. The book recounts Thoburn's experiences as a young Methodist missionary in India during the late 19th century. Thoburn describes his journey from his native Ohio to the bustling city of Calcutta, where he encountered a vastly different culture and way of life. He details his struggles to learn the local language, navigate the complex social hierarchies, and adapt to the customs and traditions of the Indian people. Thoburn also shares his experiences traveling throughout India, preaching the gospel and establishing churches in remote villages and towns. Throughout the book, Thoburn reflects on the challenges and rewards of missionary work, as well as the broader impact of Christianity on Indian society. My Missionary Apprenticeship is a fascinating firsthand account of the early days of Christian missions in India, and provides valuable insights into the history of cross-cultural exchange and religious evangelism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
