The choice of where to begin the Missionary Legacy Editions series wasn’t difficult. More than two centuries ago, William Carey’s An Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathen ripped away the façade of complacency in the Church and offered a sincere, biblical motivation for the pursuit of the Great Commission goal in its stead. The Church needs a humbling call to action like this today, just as it did in 1792.

This Missionary Legacy Edition is presented in a durable debossed hardcover with a smyth-sewn binding and full color endsheets. The text has been lightly updated and freshly typeset. A new foreword by Kevin DeYoung introduces the volume, and a new afterword by Mark Dever explores the implications of Carey’s work for today. Also included is the preface to the 1891 edition.
