A spark of historic conviction and a call to action: Carey's inquiry asks us what it means for Christians to use every means for the conversion of the heathens, and how nations and faiths are moving under the pressure of a changing world. This short, rigorous volume surveys the religious state of the world, the outcomes of past efforts, and the practical feasibility of further undertakings. It blends a clear husbandry of ethical argument with the urgency of evangelical mission, offering a compact, readable history of Britain and missions context alongside a thoughtful treatise on missionary ethics. For readers today, it's a bridge between late eighteenth-century Britain and contemporary religious education material, a source for church historians, scholars of nonconformist missions literature, and anyone seeking a grounded introduction to the priorities and tensions of global outreach. Its value extends beyond the page: a landmark in historical religious thought, a study in how faith and action meet policy, rhetoric, and a global outlook. A book that feels both intimate and universal, it will appeal to casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike-an artefact that invites debate, reflection, and worthy rereading. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
