The Foreign Missionary Society's first appointment was the Rev. C.F. (John Christian Frederick) Heyer, appointed to go to India in 1840. The Executive Committee decided to send him under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, a united Protestant group commonly known as the American Board. Although the Foreign Missionary Society intended that Heyer's work would maintain a distinct Lutheran character, the decision to use the American Board caused controversy among General Synod Lutherans. Heyer, therefore, resigned his appointment under the General Synod, going instead under the auspices of the Missionary Society of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania in 1842, becoming the "first missionary sent out to the heathen world by the American Lutheran Church." In 1843 the Executive Committee was empowered to appoint and send out a missionary as soon as possible, and, if expedient, to co-operate with the Missionary Society of the Synod of Pennsylvania, and with their missionary in India. Thus the Rev. Walter Gunn was appointed as the first missionary sent out by the General Synod, to join Heyer in Guntur, India. RELIGION BOX 8

1853In-8°, 135 pp, antiporta calcografica illustrata da L. Banzo, ai piatti legatura in pelle alle armi di papa Pio IX con stemma centrale entro doppia cornice riccamente decorata, titolo in oro al dorso, tagli in oro. Buona copia. Prima edizione. La vita di questo avventuroso missionario portoghese (João de Brito) viene descritta da padre Boero, gesuita che dedicò molta parte della sua vita alla compilazione delle biografie di martiri missionari con uno stile che travalica definitivamente l’agiografia barocca e trionfalista. I suoi lavori sono importanti anche per la descrizione dei luoghi in cui si svolge l’operato del padre missionario. João de Brito svolse il suo ministero in India, nella provincia del Marava, dove ritornò dopo esserne stato cacciato. Venuto in insanabile contrasto con il principe locale, subì il martirio a Oriyur il 4 febbraio 1693. Fu beatificato da Pio IX nel 1859 e canonizzato da Pio XII nel 1947. In-8 °, 135 pp, chalcographic frontispiece engraved by L. Banzo, calf covers with the coat of arms of Pope Pius IX with central coat of arms within a richly decorated double frame, gilt title on the back, gilt edges. Good copy. First edition. The life of this adventurous Portuguese missionary (João de Brito) is described by Father Boero, a Jesuit who devoted much of his life to compiling the biographies of missionary martyrs with a style that definitively goes beyond Baroque and triumphalist hagiography. His works are also important for the description of the places where the missionary father's work takes place. João de Brito carried out his ministry in India, in the province of Marava, where he returned after being expelled. Coming into irremediable conflict with the local prince, he suffered martyrdom in Oriyur on February 4, 1693. He was beatified by Pius IX in 1859 and canonized by Pius XII in 1947.
