JESUS IN THE ARCTIC

Early twentieth century, western Christianity featured a heavy push toward missions as global travel became easier and the colonial urge increased. Complete with short demographical descriptions, the cultural moment is nicely highlighted in this anonymously written history of "gospel pioneers" in the northernmost part of the world, as figures like Norwegian priest Hans Egede pressed into Greenland and the Arctic regions, seeking to bring Christ to the Inuit people.
