Description
The story of over a hundred years of missionary endeavor by the RCA in the area of the Arabian Gulf.
Scudder weaves together the religious, political, economic, and social factors as the area moved from the feudal control of the Ottoman Empire to the oil-rich, powerful, modern states of today. The story provides insight into the successes and failures of mission policy, of lives lost, and lives lived, both for the spread of the good news of Christ.
