History tends to remember the pioneers. This is understandable, for they enter the story first. They blaze the trail that others follow. In the case of Protestant missions, this honor goes to William Carey (1761-1834) who is often considered the "father of modern missions."[1] Consequently, numerous biographies have been written about him in his own day and ours.[2] But Carey's life work took place in the context of a bustling mission comprise...

This very welcome account of Philip Doddridge has Alan Clifford's characteristic clarity and forcefulness-that is, commitment-coupled with, again characteristically, an unrivalled familiarity with the primary sources. Its summary of the context and course of Doddridge's life draws out clearly his character and significance. And all this is done with a liveliness and wit too rare in scholarly writing.

But even then I don't tell you stories…" From tragic accidents to gruesome murders, Death sees it all and shares the tales of everyday individuals who meet him.

It is often assumed that the big theological debates of the 18th century did not involve the nature of God. But in many ways, the resurgence of Arianism, the growth of Deism, and the emergence of Socinianism (or what some later called Unitarianism) ensured that questions regarding the being of God were central to theological reflection in the long eighteenth century from the 1680s to the 1830s. This collection of essays, most of which were ori...
