More than any other work of its time, William Carey's Enquiry was responsible for the birth of the modern missionary movement - a short book by a cobbler that reorganized the Protestant church's sense of obligation.

Earnest, concise and biblically persuasive, the Enquiry remains unwavering in its challenge to Christ's church to take the Great Commission to the ends of the earth. This modernized edition includes the preface to the 1891 edition and features a new foreword by Kevin DeYoung along with an afterword.
