The Moravians in Greenland is a historical book published in 1839 and written by an anonymous author. The book provides a detailed account of the Moravian missionaries who traveled to Greenland in the 18th century to evangelize the Inuit people. The Moravians were a Protestant sect known for their missionary work and their emphasis on personal conversion and community living. The book begins by describing the harsh conditions that the Moravians faced when they first arrived in Greenland, including the extreme cold and the isolation from the rest of the world. Despite these challenges, the Moravians were determined to spread their message of Christianity and establish a community in Greenland. The book goes on to describe the Moravians' interactions with the Inuit people, including their efforts to learn the Inuit language and customs. The Moravians were successful in converting many Inuit people to Christianity, and they established several settlements throughout Greenland. The book also describes the challenges that the Moravians faced in maintaining their community in Greenland, including conflicts with other European powers and the difficulty of obtaining supplies. Despite these challenges, the Moravians continued their work in Greenland for many years, and their legacy can still be seen in the country today. Overall, The Moravians in Greenland is a fascinating historical account of one of the earliest Christian missions to Greenland, and it provides a unique perspective on the interactions between European missionaries and indigenous peoples.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
