The Prophesy of Robert Louis Stevenson- Damien of Molokai – The Leper Saint

Description

According to Rev Hyde in 1889 “Damien was a coarse, dirty, headstrong bigot, not pure in his reations with women, a man whose own leprosy was due to his vices and carelessness”. In a powerfully impassioned response, Robert Louis Stevenson, upholds Fr Damien and accuses his fellow Presbyterian of unjustly maligning a man of virtue and humanity who would one day, he prophesied, be canonised a saint. Stevenson composes a powerful work of evidence-based humanitarianism, about compassion, ecumenism and reconciliation, about human failings and the importance of justice. This book is highly recommended.
