Madagascar And Its Martyrs: A Book For The Young

By W. Ellis

Book Overview

""Madagascar and its Martyrs: A Book for the Young"" by W. Ellis is a historical account of the Christian missionary movement in Madagascar during the 19th century. The book tells the story of how Christianity was introduced to the island and the struggles that the missionaries faced in spreading their message. The main focus of the book is on the persecution and martyrdom of the Malagasy Christians who refused to renounce their faith in the face of opposition from the ruling monarchs and traditional religious leaders. The book is written in a simple and engaging style that is suitable for young readers, but also provides valuable insights into the history of Madagascar and the role of religion in the country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
