May I Again Taste the Sweets of Social Religion

“William Carey is rightly recognized as the ‘father of modern missions,’ but for too long the ecclesiology that fueled his missiology has gone unnoticed and uncelebrated. Luke Waite convincingly demonstrates that what Carey believed about missions cannot be divorced from what he believed about the local church. Read this book to better understand William Carey. Even more importantly, pastors, church members, and missionaries should read it to strengthen their missiology by sharpening their ecclesiology.”


—M. Hopson Boutot, lead pastor, Poquoson Baptist Church





“Local churches are not optional in missions work. Luke Waite’s work provides a much-needed reminder of the biblical and baptistic convictions of William Carey concerning ecclesiology. Sending churches and missionaries will benefit by taking the time to learn from Carey, ‘the father of modern missions,’ on the matter.”


—Ryan Robertson, president, Reaching & Teaching International Ministries
