Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Self Support: Illustrated In The History Of The Bassein Karen Mission, From 1840-1880 (1883) is a historical account written by Chapin Howard Carpenter. The book details the story of the Bassein Karen Mission, which was established in Burma in 1840. The mission aimed to spread Christianity among the Karen people, an ethnic group that lived in the area. The book provides a detailed account of the mission's history, including its successes and failures, and the challenges faced by the missionaries. The author also explores the concept of self-support, which was a central philosophy of the mission. Self-support meant that the mission aimed to help the Karen people become self-sufficient and independent, rather than relying on outside aid. The book includes illustrations and photographs of the missionaries and the Karen people, as well as maps of the region. Overall, Self Support: Illustrated In The History Of The Bassein Karen Mission, From 1840-1880 (1883) provides a fascinating insight into the history of Christian missions in Burma and the challenges faced by those who sought to spread their faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
