Synopsis

This book tackles the 18th-century issue of Christian evangelism on a global scale, contrasting the fervor of missionary work in the past that brought Christianity to nations with the lukewarm attitude of the author's contemporaries. The author critiques the widespread neglect of non-Christian souls, particularly in the face of Europe's growing secularism and irreligion. He exhorts ministers to reignite their zeal for spreading the gospel, arguing that their sacred duty is to answer Christ's command to preach to every creature and disciple all nations. The author's impassioned plea is founded on the belief that the materialism and apathy prevalent in the Church were betraying the legacy of the Apostles and the very teachings of Jesus Christ. This book is an invaluable resource for understanding the historical context of Christian missions and remains relevant today in its call for renewed commitment to evangelism.
