The Memoir of Robert Moffat: Missionary to South Africa, 1817-1870 is a biographical account of the life and work of Robert Moffat, a Scottish missionary who spent over 50 years in Africa spreading Christianity and promoting education. Written by Martha L. Wilder and first published in 1887, the book provides a detailed overview of Moffat's upbringing in Scotland, his journey to South Africa, and his experiences living and working among the indigenous peoples of the region. The book covers Moffat's early years as a missionary, during which time he established mission stations in various parts of South Africa, learned several African languages, and translated the Bible into Setswana, a local dialect. The book also describes Moffat's close relationship with David Livingstone, another prominent missionary and explorer who worked in Africa during the same period. Throughout the book, Wilder highlights Moffat's dedication to improving the lives of the people he encountered in Africa. She describes his efforts to promote education, establish schools and hospitals, and fight against the slave trade. The book also touches on the challenges Moffat faced as a missionary, including conflicts with European colonizers and resistance from African communities who were suspicious of the motives of outsiders. Overall, the Memoir of Robert Moffat provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering missionary who played a significant role in the history of South Africa. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian missions, African history, or the intersection of religion and colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
