The New Hebrides and Christian Missions is a historical account of the efforts of Christian missionaries in the New Hebrides, a group of islands in the South Pacific. Written by Robert Steel and published in 1880, the book offers a detailed look at the challenges and successes of early Christian missions in the region, including the impact of the labor traffic on the indigenous populations.The book begins with a brief overview of the history and geography of the New Hebrides, followed by a discussion of the early Christian missions that were established in the area. Steel provides an in-depth analysis of the cultural and linguistic barriers that the missionaries faced, as well as the difficulties they encountered in trying to convert the local population to Christianity.One of the key themes of the book is the impact of the labor traffic on the New Hebrides. Steel describes the brutal conditions under which the islanders were forced to work in sugar plantations and other industries, and highlights the efforts of the Christian missionaries to protect the rights of the workers and improve their living conditions.The book also includes a detailed account of Steel's own journey through the New Hebrides on a mission vessel. He provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, the people, and the customs of the region, offering readers a unique glimpse into life in the South Pacific in the late 19th century.Overall, The New Hebrides and Christian Missions is a fascinating and informative historical document that sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of early Christian missions in the South Pacific. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, colonialism, and the South Pacific.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
