The Life and Labours of Asahel Nettleton introduces a leading figure in one of the most important half centuries in American church history.<\/p>\n

Book Description<\/h1>\n

From the late 1790s to the early 1840s a succession of revivals transformed the spiritual prospects of the nation, and in these, in the words of a New York evangelist, ‘Nettleton served a glorious purpose. Few men, since the apostolic days, have been honoured with such signal success in preaching the word, and in the conversion of sinners’.<\/p>\n

The author, Dr. Bennet Tyler, who knew Nettleton (1783-1843) from 1812, asserts that from that date, he was ’employed almost constantly in revivals for ten years’. As a counsellor to ministers his aid was constantly sought, particularly upon the subject of evangelism and revivals ‘on which he had an amount of experience and observation beyond any man living’.<\/p>\n

At a time when the nature of true revivals and of biblical evangelism is being widely re-assessed, the re-appearance of this volume, ably edited by M’Cheyne’s biographer, Andrew Bonar, is of major significance.<\/p>\n
