Product description

So why yet another biography of William Carey...? John Appleby looks at Carey through his own distinctive spectacles. John lived in South India, serving the Lord there for many years. He knows the land, the people and - which is so important - the problems generated by the all-embracing British Raj in Carey's time, and by the vanishing British Raj in the mid-twentieth century.

Like William Carey in his time, John Appleby embraces a sensible, biblical Calvinism. ... Not all past biographers of Carey have been able to put on his theological shoes and feel comfortable, but John can and does. Without such empathy, it would be nearly impossible to arrive at an accurate appreciation of Carey's life and work. True evangelism must be based on the unreserved acceptance and application of the doctrines of grace, and this comes over in the present book.

The present pages provide a unique and needed contribution to our understanding of the cobbler from Northamptonshire.
