Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Translations of Christian Literature: The Life of Otto, Apostle of Pomerania 1060-1139 The story of Otto´s missionary labours which gained for him the title of the apostle of Pomerania, constitutes one of the most striking chapters in the history of the evangelization of Europe, and it is not a little strange that this story has never been translated or told at length in the English language. Although the time during which Otto laboured as a missionary outside his own country was comparatively short, nevertheless as judged by outward and visible results he was the most successful of all the missionaries to whom the conversion of Europe was ultimately due. In view of the many and difficult problems that confront us to-day in the non-Christian lands where missionaries are now labouring, we cannot afford to neglect the light and the inspiration which can be obtained from a careful study of the ideals, the methods and the experiences of the great missionaries of early and mediæval times, of whose work any detailed record has been preserved. In some instances the accounts composed by contemporary or nearly contemporary biographers are fragmentary and of doubtful value, but in the case of Otto we are fortunate in possessing six biographies all of which emanate from the district in which Otto lived and two at least of which may claim to be the work of contemporaries.
