Unusual treatise by the American Baptist missionary Elisha Litchfield Abbott, known as the ‘Apostle of the Karens’, likening the contemporary plight of the Karen Christians, who suffered fierce persecution at the hands of the Burmese government, to that of the Jewish Christian converts who endured oppression as described in the ‘Epistle to the Hebrews’ in the New Testament. Written in the Karen language, employing Burmese characters. Interleaved copy. - Slight foxing in places. Bound in contemporary half-calf, somewhat rubbed and worn, spine renewed using original material.
Ungewöhnliches Werk des amerikanischen Missionars Elisha L. Abbott, in dem er die Lage des unterdrückten Karen-Volkes mit der der jüdisch-christlichen Konvertiten im Neuen Testament vergleicht. Durchschossenes Exemplar. - Stellenweise leicht stockfleckig.
