Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the observations and personal experiences of an 1849 expedition sent by the Malta Protestant College to investigate the state of education and religious freedom in various countries of the East. Such nations included Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Turkey, and Greeceâ"all of which had immense influence on the development of morals, and concepts of sin and salvation during the Age of Reformation. The author provides a unique, firsthand account of the religious, moral, and intellectual state of these regions at that time. Of particular interest is the exploration of the moral and social decay seen in the Eastern nations by the author, and how both political and ecclesiastical rulers hindered the spread of Gospel and general knowledge. This book provides valuable insights into the historical state of education in the East and the significant factors that led to the near-stagnation of scientific and religious progress in the region.
