Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gospel in Futuna: With Chapters on the Islands of the New Hebrides, the People, Their Customs, Religious Beliefs, Etc
The chapters on the work of Rev. Joseph Cope land, my predecessor, and that Of the teachers in the island before him, were drawn up chiefly from his letters and reports, and from those of the other early missionaries, and partially from information supplied by the natives of Aneityum and Futuna.
The references to customs and religious beliefs in other islands were kindly supplied by the missionaries, as well as by natives. In the chapter on the Lan guages of the New Hebrides I have endeavoured to give, in few and simple words, the main peculiarities of the numerous tongues in the group.

The Gospel in Futuna (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating and intimate glimpse into the history of Christian missionary work in the New Hebrides, a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean. The author, a missionary himself, details the struggles, triumphs, and tragedies of those who sought to introduce the gospel to the indigenous peoples of the islands. The book focuses primarily on the island of Futuna, which held a unique place in the history of the New Hebrides mission due to its distinct language and challenging reception of Christianity. The author recounts the early visits of missionaries, including John Williams, the ΓΆβ Ε"Apostle of the South Seas,ΓΆβ Β who landed on Futuna in 1839. While Williams saw potential for spreading the faith, his initial optimism was dashed when subsequent attempts to establish missionaries resulted in the murder of two Samoan teachers and their families. The story continues through the decades, chronicling the arrival of other missionaries, the resilience of traditional customs, and the devastating impact of the labor trade on the island's population. Through the author's personal experiences and detailed observations, the book offers a powerful account of the human cost and spiritual complexities of missionary work. The book provides a unique perspective on the cultural clashes and evolving relationship between missionaries and indigenous communities, and highlights the challenges of introducing Christianity into a world where traditional beliefs and practices were deeply ingrained. This compelling narrative offers a window into the past, exploring the motivations, challenges, and enduring legacy of missionary work in the Pacific. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
