The Life of John Eliot is a biography written by Nehemiah Adams that provides a comprehensive account of the life of John Eliot, a prominent missionary who played a significant role in the early missionary efforts among the Native American tribes of New England. The book delves into Eliot's early life, education, and religious beliefs, as well as his decision to become a missionary and his efforts to learn the language and customs of the Native American tribes he sought to convert. The book also explores the challenges Eliot faced in his missionary work, including opposition from both the English colonizers and the Native American tribes themselves. It details his successes in establishing churches and schools among the Native Americans, as well as his efforts to translate the Bible into their language. In addition to providing a detailed account of Eliot's life and work, the book also offers insights into the broader historical and cultural context of the early missionary efforts in New England. It sheds light on the complex relationships between the English colonizers and the Native American tribes, as well as the religious and political tensions that shaped this period of American history. Overall, The Life of John Eliot is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in America, the early interactions between European settlers and Native American tribes, and the role of missionaries in shaping the cultural and religious landscape of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
