Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal of a Three Years´ Residence in Abyssinia, in Furtherance of the Objects of the Church Missionary Society The attention of the Church Missionary Society has for many years been directed toward that interesting country, which forms the subject of the present volume. In the plans which were formed, now twenty years ago, for the Mediterranean Mission, it was considered that the evangelizing of the nations adjacent to that inland sea was a work intimately connected with the revival and reformation of the Oriental Churches; and among these, the Christian Church of Abyssinia presents a very conspicuous and essential object. About the time of the arrival of the Society´s first Missionary in Malta, in the year 1815, a still deeper interest was excited respecting that country; from its being known that a Native had been for some years engaged, at Cairo, in translating the Scriptures into Amharic, the principal vernacular Abyssinian Language. This Amharic Version of the entire Bible was purchased at Cairo, by the Rev. W. Jowett, on account of the British and Foreign Bible Society, in 1820.
