Description
William Carey has rightly been acclaimed as the chief architect of the modern missionary movement. Although others were active in spreading the gospel outside traditional Christian countries before Carey, his foundation of the Baptist Missionary Society in England in 1792 launched the organized effort to proclaim Christ in new lands. This lecture analyses the factors in his formation, the advantages he possessed in his ministry in India and the difficulties he faced before examining the results of his work.
