THE MISSIONARY ENTERPRISE

Delivered at the 1843 General Convention of the Congregational churches, these addresses sound the trumpet for world missions. Contributors include Princeton’s Samuel Miller and revivalist Lyman Beecher, who argue that the gospel is the only hope for dying nations and that the church’s duty is to send light to the darkest corners of the earth. The sermons combine statistical data with spiritual fervour, offering a model for mission conferences today. A historical spur to contemporary obedience to the Great Commission.
