Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative explores John Newton's transformative journey from a slave in Sierra Leone to a slave trader, and ultimately, an influential evangelist and antislavery advocate. His spiritual awakening, influenced by Methodists, led to a focus on personal conversion and social justice within the Church of England. Newton's collaboration with poet William Cowper produced beloved hymns, and his testimony in Parliament played a crucial role in the abolition of the slave trade. The book also critiques Marx's views on religion, using Newton's writings as a foundation for its scholarly insights.
