Africa, West -- Description and travel; Missions -- Africa
“Not often does there appear a more important work in a special
department than this of Dr. Wilson. Dr. Wilson’s thirty-two years of
residence in Persia and his earlier studies in Bahaism have prepared him
for authoritative speaking here. It constitutes an excellent argument
against those who think of missionaries in petty terms. Here is the book
of statesmanlike thinking.”—_The Continent._
_S. M. ZWEMER, D.D., F.R.G.S._
The Disintegration of Islam
Illustrated. 12mo, cloth, net $1.25.
Dr. Zwemer traces the collapse of Islam as a political power in Europe,
Asia and Africa, as well as the inevitable effect the impact of Western
civilization has had, and is still having, on the countries over which
it still holds sway. All this tends to the final disintegration and
overthrow of Mohammedanism in fulfilment of a Divine plan of preparedness
for the evangelization of Moslem lands.
