Not illustrated. 1830 edition. Excerpt: ... of England, amongst different denominations; in Scotland, in Ireland, across the Atlantic, beyond the boundaries of the Indian Ocean, and the mountains of Tibet. The wilderness and the solitary place were made glad for him, and the desert began to rejoice and blossom as the rose. CHAPTER. IV. Origin of the Baptist Mission--Early Notices of Dr. Carey--His Designation to India--Mr. Fuller's Missionary Labours--His first Visit to Scotland--Congratulations of the Missionaries--His Answer to some Objections--Second Tour into Scotland--Visit to Ireland-- State of the Irish Baptists--Catholic Emancipation--Missionary Labours continued. To Mr. Fuller was reserved the distinguished honour of becoming one of the first in his own denomination, who opened the door of faith to the modern idolatrous Gentiles, and prepared the way for a mission to the east. Here a scene presented itself, of sufficient extent to afford the most ample scope for his abilities, and setting before him an object commensurate with the boundless desires of his heart. This was the commencement of a new era in the life of this great man. Henceforth his labours took a new direction; his preaching, his prayers, and his correspondence, all had reference to this great subject; and his character began to unfold itself in a still more interesting and magnificent form. The Baptist Mission in India has been described by persons who had no immediate concern whatever in the undertaking, to have been "as disinterested in design, and as strenuous in exertion, as any that the Christian world ever did or ever can employ for the illumination and conversion of idolaters; and surpassing, beyond comparison, all former missions, and all other undertakings, in the grand article of translating the...

Despite his prominent role during the last quarter of the eighteenth century in promoting evangelical Calvinism among British Particular Baptists, only portions of the diary of Andrew Fuller (1754-1815), one of the most important surviving manuscripts from that century, have appeared in print in various volumes published between 1816 and 1882, portions usually inaccurately transcribed and highly editorialized. The current edition is the first complete and accurate transcription of Fuller’s diary based on the sole surviving volume now residing at Bristol Baptist College. This edition, with exhaustive identifications, notes, and valuable appendices for students of Baptist history, provides a fascinating glimpse into Fuller’s ministry at Soham and Kettering during a period (1780-1801) when he became the titular head of the Particular Baptists as a result of his preaching throughout Northamptonshire and surrounding counties; his writing, such as his influential work, The Gospel Worthy of All Acceptation (1785); and his multi-national work as founding secretary of the Baptist Missionary Society (1792), a position he diligently maintained until his death in 1815, having left a legacy unequalled by any other minister of his generation.

Andrew Fuller (1754–1815), perhaps the most prominent Particular Baptist of the eighteenth century, has been the subject of much scholarly interest in recent years. No comparative study, however, has been done on the two biographies that give us much of our knowledge of Fuller’s life. John Ryland Jr. (1753–1826), Fuller’s closest friend and ministry partner, not only supervised the publication of Fuller’s works, but sought to give a careful accounting of his friend’s piety. But Ryland’s volume stood in contrast with the less-flattering portrait painted by publisher and pastor, J.W. Morris (1763–1836). This critical edition of Ryland’s 1816 biography provides contextual background and comparative analysis of the two volumes, and shows how Ryland amended his text for its 1818 republication in light of Morris' work. It also demonstrates the profound influence of Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) on Ryland’s biographical approach. While Edwards’s influence on Ryland and Fuller is widely known, this volume shows how Edwards’s biographical work, especially that of David Brainerd, influenced Ryland’s aim to promote “pure and undefiled religion” through recounting the life of his friend.
