''Women and the Gospel in Persia'' is a book written by Thomas Laurie and published in 1887. The book is a detailed account of the author’s experiences as a missionary in Persia, particularly in relation to the role of women in Persian society and their response to the Christian gospel. Laurie provides a historical and cultural context for his observations, discussing the status of women in traditional Persian society and the impact of Islam on their lives. He then describes his encounters with Persian women, including their reactions to his preaching and the challenges they faced in embracing Christianity. The book also includes anecdotes and stories of individual women who became Christians and the impact that this had on their lives and families. Overall, ''Women and the Gospel in Persia'' provides a unique perspective on the intersection of religion, gender, and culture in nineteenth-century Persia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
