Christians Under the Crescent in Asia

the long version

Account of a journey among the Assyrians in Turkey and Persia in 1876. The author, Edward L. Cutts, was sent on a mission of inquiry by the Archbishop of Canterbury in response to petitions from Assyrians to the Church of England requesting the establishment of a mission to open schools among them in order to bring about their educational and spiritual renewal. This book serves as primary source material for an important period in modern Assyrian history from which few other sources survive.
