Sinopsis

The Miners? Sons: Martin Luther and Henry Martyn is a historical book written by Charles Dent Bell and published in 1853. The book tells the stories of two men, Martin Luther and Henry Martyn, who were born to families of miners and went on to become influential figures in their respective fields.The first half of the book focuses on Martin Luther, a German monk who played a key role in the Protestant Reformation. Bell describes Luther?s early life as the son of a miner, his education as a monk, and his eventual break with the Catholic Church. The book also explores Luther?s theological ideas and his impact on the religious landscape of Europe.The second half of the book turns to Henry Martyn, an English missionary who traveled to India and Persia in the early 19th century. Like Luther, Martyn was born to a family of miners, but he felt called to serve as a missionary from a young age. Bell describes Martyn?s journey to India, his efforts to translate the Bible into local languages, and his eventual death from tuberculosis.Throughout the book, Bell emphasizes the similarities between Luther and Martyn, both of whom overcame humble beginnings to achieve great things. The Miners? Sons is a tribute to these two men and their enduring legacies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
