{"product_id":"the-early-mission-in-south-karel-schoeman-9781919825427","title":"The Early Mission in South Africa, 1799-1819","description":"In 1799 four missionaries - two English and two Dutch - arrived at the Cape, having been sent out by the London missionary society. This is their story. Although mission work by the Moravians had begun some time before, this meant the commencement of large-scale mission work in South Africa, and initiated what might be called the 'golden age' of missionary activity in South Africa. The Early Mission, 1799-1819 consists of 17 essays, some of them in Afrikaans, in which the noted writer and historian Karel Schoeman describes the life and work of a number of missionaries, mission assistants and artisans, 'native agents', catechists and lay helpers, including three women, who where involved in the establishment of the mission during the pioneer period. His subjects are mainly Dutch and indigenous mission workers in the service of the LMS and their work among the slave population of the Cape Colony and the inhabitants of the Orange River area beyond the northern frontier of the Colony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karel Schoeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1919825428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781919825427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Protea Boekhuis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Karel Schoeman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445871980799,"sku":"9781919825427","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd18aa4c-b453-4841-93b3-8c072f1cd51f.jpg?v=1777221202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-early-mission-in-south-karel-schoeman-9781919825427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
