The eighteenth century saw remarkable missionary activity: as the British Empire expanded, Christian missionaries followed merchants and explorers to bring the gospel where Christ had never been named, and at the heart of that movement was William Carey.

From humble beginnings in England he travelled halfway around the world to preach on the Indian subcontinent. What is less well known is how heavily he depended on his friends for whatever he accomplished - a fellowship without which the pioneer would not have lasted. Michael A. G. Haykin tells that side of the story. In Spanish.
