Kurds and Christians is a compilation of letters (some translated from Syriac), narratives of journeys and local traditions, and various documents pertaining to the Archbishop of Canterbury's Mission to the Assyrian Church of the East. The documents cover the ecclesiastical and social life of the Church of the East and the Anglican Mission, the School of Urmia, Kurdish troubles in the area (which caused the murder of some native clergymen), and the printing press with its various publications. The book is adorned with 17 pictures and a map.
