Henry Venn—Missionary Statesman

History & Biography

“'The vision is for days yet to come,' said the prophet. It is with such a vision that this book is concerned--the vision of one of the great missionary leaders of the past, a vision which even today remains to be fully explored. The author presents a careful historical review of Henry Venn's achievements in the setting of his age. He thus enables our own generation, more than a century later, to see with Venn's eyes, to trace the steps by which he advanced toward the great aim of churches in mission throughout the world.”
