Summary: "History of the Missions of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to the Oriental Churches" by Rufus Anderson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work documents the extensive efforts of the American Board in spreading Christianity among various Eastern communities, including Armenians, Greeks, and Nestorians, over several decades. The book likely delves into individual missionary experiences, challenges faced, and the broader impact of these missions on both local and foreign populations. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed exploration of these missions, outlining the organizational structure and historical context in which they operated. It introduces the concept of missions as vital not only for converting non-Christians but also for revitalizing degenerated Christian communities in the East. Anderson emphasizes that successful missions depend on demonstrating genuine faith and integrity among the local converts, which reflects the mission's aim to elevate the moral and spiritual standards of these communities. Key early figures such as Pliny Fisk and Levi Parsons are mentioned, illustrating the personal dedication and sacrifices made by individuals to spread the Christian faith amidst political and social turmoil.
