| Title: | The Nestorians or The Lost Tribe | | Subtitle: | With a New Introduction by H.L. Murre-van den Berg | | Availability: | In Print | | Publisher: | Gorgias Press |
Full Title: The Nestorians or The Lost Tribe, Containing Evidence of Their Identity, An Account of Their Manners, Customs, and Ceremonies, together with sketches of travel in ancient Assyria, Armenia, Media, and Mesopotamia, illustrations of Scripture prophecy, and appendices.
Grant gives an account of his encounters with the "Nestorians", arguing that they "are indeed the representatives and lineal descendants of the Ten Tribes." Despite this unlikely theory, his vivid description of their life and traditions provide a valuable resource on the 'Nestorian" Christians in the early 1800s.
Note: Chapters have no headings, but many subheadings. The first subheading is given here.
