Autorenporträt
William Carey (1761–1834) was a British Christian missionary, Particular Baptist minister, translator, social reformer, and cultural anthropologist, best known as the 'father of modern missions.' His 1792 book, 'An Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens,' laid the foundation for the modern missionary movement. In it, Carey argues for the necessity, obligations, and practicalities of missionary work among non-Christian peoples, emphasizing the use of 'means' or methods for the propagation of the Gospel worldwide. A pioneering figure in the missionary movement, Carey's theological and missionary insights propelled the establishment of the Baptist Missionary Society. He subsequently spent over four decades in India, where his work had a lasting impact. Beyond preaching, Carey's contributions to translations of the Bible into various languages and dialects, as well as his educational and social reform efforts, are an enduring legacy. His literary style combines a scholarly approach—drawing from empirical evidence and biblical exegesis—with a heartfelt commitment to evangelism and social betterment. Carey's work remains a seminal text in missiology and an inspirational model for Christian missionaries throughout successive generations.
