Beschreibung

4 7/8 X 7 3/8 Inches. 272 PP. Original 1926 first printing of this introduction to the customs and rights of women in the Islamic world. Zwemer, a prolific author and Princeton Professor, spent much of his life studying Islam as one could only proselytize Christianity to Muslims with a full understanding of both religions. His treatment and descriptions of the roles of women in Muslim society are refrained, but this indifference lends to an easy acceptance or at least appreciation. Zwemer was a master missionary and his influence in the Christian world is hard to measure. His efforts led to numerous Christian establishments and countless religious conversions. Contains all 24 original full-page photographs depicting Muslim Slave Girls, daily life and various women of the Muslim faith. Original illustrated paper label to front cover. Light foxing and and some wear to page edges. Original jacket chipped at edges and spine ends. United Church of Canada stamp on title-page. Widely held at OCLC, but scarce in commerce.
