Book Overview

""Three Martyrs Of The Nineteenth Century: Studies From The Lives Of Livingstone, Gordon, And Patteson"" is a historical book written by Elizabeth Charles and published in 1885. The book is a collection of biographical studies of three Christian missionaries who were martyred during the 19th century. The three individuals featured in the book are David Livingstone, Charles George Gordon, and John Coleridge Patteson. David Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and explorer who spent much of his life in Africa, where he worked to end the slave trade and spread Christianity. Charles George Gordon was a British Army officer who served as governor of the Sudan, where he worked to suppress the slave trade and establish a stable government. John Coleridge Patteson was a British bishop who worked to spread Christianity in the Pacific Islands, where he was killed by islanders. The book provides a detailed account of the lives and works of these three individuals, and explores the impact they had on the world during their lifetimes. It also examines the religious and political contexts in which they worked, and the challenges they faced in their missions. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both academic and general readers interested in the history of Christian missions and the lives of these three remarkable individuals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
