Christianity On The Frontier

By John Alexander MacKay

Book Overview

""Christianity On The Frontier"" is a book written by John A. Mackay that explores the history of Christian missions in the frontier regions of the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The book examines the challenges faced by Christian missionaries in their efforts to spread the gospel to indigenous people, settlers, and immigrants in areas such as the Great Plains, the Southwest, and the Pacific Northwest. Mackay provides detailed accounts of the experiences of individual missionaries, including their interactions with Native American tribes, their efforts to establish churches and schools, and their role in shaping the social and cultural landscape of these regions. He also delves into the broader historical context of the frontier period, including the impact of industrialization, immigration, and westward expansion on the growth of Christianity in America. Through his vivid storytelling and insightful analysis, Mackay offers a compelling portrait of the complex and often turbulent history of Christian missions in the American frontier.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
