"Journal of a Residence at Bagdad" by Anthony Norris Groves is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work details Groves's experiences as a missionary in Bagdad during the years 1830 and 1831. The journal captures the challenges he faced while attempting to spread Christianity in a city marked by cultural and religious complexities, including the indifference of the local populace towards his mission. The opening of the journal sets the stage for Groves's reflections on missionary work and the spiritual and practical struggles he encountered. He describes the initiation of a school for children and expresses gratitude for the support he received from fellow missionaries. Groves notes the apathy towards religious instruction among the local population, observations regarding the socio-political atmosphere, and his hopes for both personal growth and the progress of his mission. This early portion establishes a foundation for his broader exploration of faith, endurance, and the potential for positive change amid adversity, hinting at the compelling blend of personal narrative and historical context that will unfold throughout the rest of his journey.
