EDITORS COMMENTS
The Reverend Robert Moffat, the apostle of Bechuana, c1926. This print captures the essence of a remarkable man who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in Africa. The artist G Baxter beautifully portrays Reverend Robert Moffat, a Scottish Congregationalist missionary known as the 'apostle of Bechuana. ' Dressed in a smart blue jacket, he stands with confidence and warmth, emanating an aura of compassion and determination. Moffat's story is one intertwined with history and religion. Born in 1795 and passing away in 1883, he devoted over five decades to his mission work on the African continent. His unwavering commitment led him to Botswana (then known as Bechuanaland), where he played a pivotal role in introducing Christianity to its people. In this portrait, Moffat's clean-shaven face reflects his earnestness while his smiling expression radiates kindness and understanding. Holding something out of frame symbolizes both his occupation as a missionary and the spiritual guidance he offered to those around him. This image comes from 'An Outline of Christianity, ' part of 'The Story of Our Civilization' series edited by RG Parsons and AS Peake. Published by the Waverley Book Club in London during 1926, it serves as a testament not only to Moffat's significant contributions but also to the enduring impact that religious figures have had throughout history. G Baxter skillfully captures Moffat's spirit through this vibrant color
