Summary
Details

Bishop Hannington: The Life and Adventures of a Missionary Hero recounts the compelling story of James Hannington, an Anglican missionary who served in East Africa during the late 19th century. This biography details Hannington's early life, his calling to missionary work, and his eventual assignment to the challenging and often dangerous mission field of Uganda.

The book chronicles Hanningtonâ(TM)s arduous journeys through uncharted territories, his encounters with diverse African cultures, and his unwavering dedication to spreading the Christian faith. It highlights his efforts to establish missions, educate local populations, and combat the slave trade. Tragically, Hannington's mission culminated in his martyrdom in 1885, when he was killed under the orders of the Kabaka Mwanga II of Buganda.

William Grinton Berry's biography serves as both an inspirational account of faith and sacrifice and a valuable historical document of the early missionary efforts in Africa, portraying the complexities and challenges faced by those who sought to bring Christianity to the continent.
