"Life of Henry Martyn, Missionary to India and Persia, 1781 to 1812" by Sarah J. Rhea is a biography written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and missionary work of Henry Martyn, who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in India and Persia during a time when such endeavors were fraught with significant personal and cultural challenges. Martyn's story highlights his educational journey, passionate devotion to his faith, and the trials he faced in foreign lands. In this biography, readers are offered a detailed account of Martyn’s formative years, his early influences, and his eventual calling to missionary work. The text vividly describes his experiences in India, where he labored tirelessly to convert the local population, as well as his time in Persia, where he faced intellectual debates and cultural challenges.
