Publisher's Description
For two hundred years, Christians have been inspired by William Carey's commitment to obey the Great Commission. Few know of his devotion to the local church. Yet Carey's ecclesiology warrants our attention. While many works helpfully illuminate aspects of Carey's ministry, this book pushes past his methods and strategies and examines his ecclesiological faithfulness. By explaining this element of Carey's doctrine and demonstrating the ways it revealed itself throughout his life, the author argues that Carey's devotion to the local church was undeniably linked to his God-given success in reaching the lost.

“William Carey is rightly recognized as the ‘father of modern missions,’ but for too long the ecclesiology that fueled his missiology has gone unnoticed and uncelebrated. Luke Waite convincingly demonstrates that what Carey believed about missions cannot be divorced from what he believed about the local church. Read this book to better understand William Carey. Even more importantly, pastors, church members, and missionaries should read it to strengthen their missiology by sharpening their ecclesiology.”
“Local churches are not optional in missions work. Luke Waite’s work provides a much-needed reminder of the biblical and baptistic convictions of William Carey concerning ecclesiology. Sending churches and missionaries will benefit by taking the time to learn from Carey, ‘the father of modern missions,’ on the matter.”
