Excellent, accessible treatment of the relationship between George Whitefield and John Newton. The respective biographies of the two men up to the time of their paths crossing were well-done; better, even, than those to be found in the two volumes of the 'Bitesize Biography' series. Upon Whitefield's death, however, the book truncates Newton's final years in a rather frustrating manner. (Of course, one could contend this was outside the central theme of the book.) Superb use of diary extracts and letters to flesh out the material. Concludes with chapters evaluating Whitefield's impact on Newton and his ministry, as well as comparisons/contrasts between the two men. Very informative! ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
George Whitefield, regarded as the preaching wonder of his day, and John Newton, one of the leading spiritual guides of the movement that Whitefield had a significant hand in creating, Evangelicalism, are perennially interesting figures. These lives, intertwined as this study of a portion of those lives reveals, speak across the centuries to our day. These two marvelous characters have much to teach contemporary Christians. A great read for both the professional historian and the thoughtful Christian. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
