0.50 poundsAs Dr. Paul C. Andrus
reveals in Wesley’s World Parish, Protestants of the Reformation
Age were sadly lacking in the call of missions. Wars of extinction had to be
resisted, theological controversies consumed their attention, there was little
communication with the non-European world, and Reformation teaching, following
Calvin, largely taught that God would convert the heathen when He chose to do
so. The author provides a sweeping overview of the state of missions before the
Wesleyan revival, especially the Moravian movement and its stunning
successes—particularly its influence on John Wesley. He details the results of
George Whitefield’s ministry afield, and the almost compulsive drive of Thomas
Coke, the “Foreign Minister of Methodism.” When Coke died at sea, the “Three
Mighties” stepped up to replace him and keep the cause of foreign missions
alive. Here is a great exposé of the rich history of Wesleyan missions with
details not easily found elsewhere, and the impact upon missions today. Product Code: 6718; Pages 132
