About this book

Edward Judson's biography presents his father Adoniram Judson, the American Baptist missionary whose long labor in Burma became a landmark of modern missions. Written by a son with access to family memory and papers, it follows Judson's conversion, voyages, translation work, imprisonment, bereavements, and perseverance. The portrait is affectionate without hiding the cost of pioneer missionary life.
