An Enquiry Into The Obligations Of Christians To Use Means For The Conversion Of The Heathens

""An Enquiry Into The Obligations Of Christians To Use Means For The Conversion Of The Heathens"" is a book written by the English Baptist missionary William Carey. Published in 1792, it is a seminal work in the history of Christian missions and is considered to be one of the earliest modern calls for missionary work. The book argues that it is the duty of Christians to spread the gospel to all people, including those who are not yet believers. Carey contends that Christians have a moral obligation to use all means at their disposal to convert the heathens, including learning their languages, studying their cultures, and adapting their methods of evangelism to suit the local context. Drawing on his own experiences as a missionary in India, Carey argues that the heathens are not inherently resistant to the gospel, but rather that they have not had the opportunity to hear it in a way that speaks to their particular needs and concerns. He argues that it is the responsibility of Christians to bridge this gap and to bring the message of salvation to those who have not yet heard it. Overall, ""An Enquiry Into The Obligations Of Christians To Use Means For The Conversion Of The Heathens"" is a passionate and persuasive call to action for Christians to take up the task of spreading the gospel to all corners of the world. It remains a classic work in the history of Christian missions and continues to inspire and challenge Christians to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
