The Martyr Missionary of Erromanga: Or The Life of John Williams is a biographical book written by Ebenezer Prout in 1844. The book tells the story of John Williams, a British missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in the South Pacific. Williams was particularly passionate about evangelizing the people of Erromanga, an island in the Vanuatu archipelago. The book begins with Williams' early life and his decision to become a missionary. It then follows his journey to the South Pacific, where he faced many challenges and obstacles. Despite these difficulties, Williams was successful in establishing several mission stations and converting many people to Christianity. However, Williams' mission to Erromanga proved to be his downfall. In 1839, he and his colleague James Harris were killed by the island's inhabitants. The book describes the events leading up to their deaths and the aftermath of the tragedy. Throughout the book, Prout portrays Williams as a heroic figure who was willing to risk everything for his faith. He also provides a detailed account of the customs and traditions of the South Pacific islands, making the book a valuable resource for those interested in the history of the region. Overall, The Martyr Missionary of Erromanga: Or The Life of John Williams is a moving tribute to a remarkable man who gave his life for his beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
