John Eliot: The Apostle To The Indians by W.G. Polack is a biography of the life and work of John Eliot, a Puritan missionary who dedicated his life to converting Native Americans to Christianity in colonial New England. The book explores Eliot's early life, his conversion to Puritanism, and his decision to become a missionary to the Native American tribes in Massachusetts. It details his efforts to learn the Algonquian language, his establishment of praying towns for converted Native Americans, and his translation of the Bible into the Algonquian language. The book also delves into the challenges Eliot faced, including opposition from other colonists who saw Native Americans as inferior and his struggle to balance his religious beliefs with the cultural practices of the Native Americans he worked with. Overall, John Eliot: The Apostle To The Indians provides a comprehensive look into the life and legacy of a remarkable figure in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
