Publisher's Synopsis
""An Enquiry Into The Obligations Of Christians To Use Means For The Conversion Of The Heathens"" is a book written by William Carey, a British Baptist missionary, in 1792. The book is a passionate call to action for Christians to take responsibility for the conversion of non-Christians, particularly those in India where Carey was serving as a missionary. Carey argues that it is the duty of Christians to spread the gospel to all nations and that this can only be achieved through active evangelism and the use of means such as education, translation of religious texts, and the establishment of Christian communities. He challenges the prevailing belief of his time that the conversion of non-Christians was impossible and argues that it is not only possible but necessary for the salvation of souls.The book is divided into three parts: the first outlines the duty of Christians to spread the gospel, the second discusses the means by which this can be achieved, and the third addresses the objections and obstacles to missionary work. ""An Enquiry Into The Obligations Of Christians To Use Means For The Conversion Of The Heathens"" is a seminal work in the history of Christian missions and has been influential in shaping the modern missionary movement. Carey's passion for evangelism and his belief in the power of education and translation to spread the gospel have inspired generations of missionaries and continue to influence Christian outreach today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
