An Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens present and rebuff five popular objections in doing missions in dangerous faraway lands. William Carey, the father of modern missions, was a shoe cobbler who became impassioned about the need to share the gospel with all nations, not just fellow citizens in Europe. In the early post-Reformation era there was virtually no fervor for missions. William Carey changed that, and this enquiry was a turning point in missions.
