He believed that it was his duty to spread the gospel to these people and worked tirelessly to learn their language and translate the Bible into their tongue.Despite facing many challenges and setbacks, including opposition from both Native Americans and Puritan leaders, Eliot persevered in his mission. He founded several towns and churches for Native American converts and became known as the Apostle to the Indians.The Life of John Eliot: The Apostle to the Indians provides a detailed account of Eliot's life and work, including his struggles, triumphs, and legacy.
