Publisher's Synopsis
Minuajimouin Au St. Matthiu: The Gospel According To Matthew In The Ojibwa Language (1839) is a religious text that presents the Gospel of Matthew in the Ojibwa language. The book was written by Peter Jones, a Canadian Ojibwa Methodist minister who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity among the indigenous people of Canada. The text is a translation of the Gospel of Matthew, one of the four canonical Gospels of the New Testament, which recounts the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Ojibwa language, also known as Chippewa or Ojibwe, is an indigenous language spoken by the Ojibwa people in Canada and the United States. The book is an important historical document that reflects the efforts of Christian missionaries to spread their faith among the indigenous people of Canada during the 19th century. It also provides insight into the Ojibwa language and culture, as well as the challenges faced by indigenous communities in adapting to the arrival of European settlers and their religious beliefs. Overall, Minuajimouin Au St. Matthiu is a significant work that sheds light on the complex history of the relationship between Christianity and indigenous cultures in Canada.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
