History of Greenland, Vol. 2 of 2 : This volume chronicles the Greenland mission work and its tenacious spread of the Christian message in the boreal North, with vivid scenes of peril, perseverance, and progress.

It weaves together accounts of sea voyages, harsh storms, and the daily life of missionaries as they teach, translate, and sustain communities far from Europe. A detailed Appendix highlights early missionary transport, indigenous responses, and the growing network of church outreach among the Esquimaux.

  • Learn how the missionaries faced brutal weather, sea ice, and long expeditions while sharing hymns, translations, and New Testament materials.
  • See the practical steps of mission life: from translating key texts to organizing baptismal records and establishing outposts.
  • Read about the relationship between European Brethren and Greenland communities, including moments of doubt, conversion, and steadfast faith.
  • Discover the logistics and risks of coastal exploration, including voyages toward Ungava and beyond, to identify suitable settlement sites.
Ideal for readers of religious history, exploration, and 18th–19th century mission stories, who appreciate concrete detail about daily life, danger, and the growth of faith in challenging environments.
