An Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens In Which the Religious State of the Different Nations of the World, the Success of Former Undertakings, and the Practicability of Further Undertakings, Are Considered

"An Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens" by William Carey is a compelling argument for Christian missionary work, stressing the importance of converting people of other faiths to Christianity. Carey explores the Bible to show why Christians should spread their religion. He looks at how missionaries have done in the past, noting both wins and losses. Carey also studies the world's religions by area, pointing out the many people who don't follow Christianity and urgently require religious guidance. He puts together history and moral reasons to push Christians to do more than pray, but to take part in spreading their Gospel.
