Matthews is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's extensive missionary work in Madagascar, providing insights into the cultural, religious, and social dynamics of the island during a time marked by significant change and adversity. It aims to document the challenges faced by missionaries and the local population, particularly in the context of Christian evangelization in a land steeped in darkness and superstition. The opening of the book introduces Madagascar as a land with a complex history, noting its size and geographical significance. It delves into the ancient interactions between various cultures and the arrival of missionaries who sought to educate and convert the Malagasy people. Matthews emphasizes the vital role played by the London Missionary Society in the establishment of Christianity, amidst prevalent heathen practices and the slave trade. The beginning sets the stage for the exploration of the trials and triumphs of missionary work, hinting at the darker times of persecution that would soon follow, establishing a narrative of hope through faith amid despair.
