Going to Jerusalem

"Going to Jerusalem" is an engaging and educational exploration of the global Christian missionary movement written for a younger audience during the interwar period. Authored by the prolific Margaret T. Applegarth, this work uses the metaphor of a pilgrimage to trace the spread of Christianity from its origins in the Holy Land to its diverse expressions across the globe.

The narrative takes readers on a journey through history and geography, highlighting the lives of influential missionaries and the cultural impact of their work. Applegarth's writing is characterized by its storytelling flair, designed to inspire curiosity and a sense of global citizenship in its readers. Through anecdotes and historical accounts, the book examines the challenges and triumphs of faith in different cultural contexts, culminating in the significance of the 1928 Jerusalem Meeting of the International Missionary Council.

As a piece of religious and historical literature, "Going to Jerusalem" provides valuable insight into early 20th-century missiology and the pedagogical methods used to teach international awareness within a religious framework. It remains a significant example of how mission work was conceptualized and communicated to the next generation, reflecting the idealistic and global outlook of its time.
