God's Messenger

This book is written in English.

This is a biography of the North German missionary Rev. J F Riemenschneider (1817-1866), who settled in the Taranaki region in the first half of the nineteenth century, based on a thorough reading of all original documents by and about him.

The book places Riemenschneider into the historical and social context, which not only illuminates his life and work but throws new light on aspects of nineteenth-century New Zealand history.
