Arthur Charles Gook : ウィキペディア英語版 | Arthur Charles Gook
Arthur Charles Gook (11 June 1883–1959) in London, England is primarily known today for having translated Reverend Hallgrímur Pétursson's ''Passion Hymns'' into English. The third of five sons, Arthur Gook's father was a teacher. Gook distinguished himself as a student and won a university scholarship. His father, having taken up a new profession as an estate agent, would not allow him to attend a university. Instead, Gook was made to work in the family business. Later, he became personal secretary to a London publisher, and it was there he trained for the literary and publishing work he undertook later in life. Arther Gook was converted in a Bible class, and the Bible became his favourite book. He determined to reform his life and joined with the Open Brethren, which was a branch of the Plymouth Brethren religious sect. == Homeopathy == While working at the London Homeopathic Hospital, Gook received formal training as a homeopath. His wife, Florence Ethel Gook, received her training at the Missionary School of Homeopathy in London. Frederic H. Jones, a Scot, had started a mission in Iceland in 1897. Upon his death in 1905, Arthur and Florence Gook went to Iceland to carry on his work. They settled in Akureyri, which was the headquarters of his work for the next fifty years. It appears the Gooks supported their missionary work by being the first professionally trained homeopaths in Iceland. He is still commemorated as the founder of Homeopathy in Iceland.
