He was an industrialist. An economist. A medical humanitarian. A media pioneer. An educator. A moral reformer. A botanist. And a Christian missionary. And he did more for the regeneration of South Asia in the 19th and 20th centuries than any other individual before or since. Many know of William Carey. Some know about the specifics of his work and ministry. But few understand the profound contemporary significance of his life. Few realize that we owe the globalization and creation of the modern world to the silent revolution he inititiated. Fewer still are aware of his legacy of sensitivity to the variety of issues confronting true gospel witness in any culture. This biography about the central character in the story of India's modernization will help people understand William Carey's impact. But The Legacy of William Carey is more than a biography. It is a charge to all Christians to respond in kind within their own cultures, and to use Carey's example as their model for taking the light of the Gospel into every comer of society. If we follow in his footsteps, not only will hearts be changed for eternity and entire cultures transformed for Christ, but lives will be bettered this side of heaven. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
