William Gadsby
Most people encounter William Gadsby through singing the small number of his hymns that are still in general use. In Strict Baptist circles his name continues to be held in high esteem for his work as a preacher, for his hymnbook, and as founder of the Gospel Standard magazine.
Although Gadsby is perhaps not as well known as others of his time, Ian Shaw reveals him to be a unique but clear, earnest preacher who had the gospel at the centre of all he did. His minstry was shaped by his own poverty as a child, and he was able to touch people of all social backgrounds, preaching and ministering extensively to those both inside and outside the church. Yet his desire above all was to point people humbly to Christ, earning him the apt title of ‘The Apostle of the North’.
This book was first published by Evangelical Press in the Bitesize Biographies series. This edition has a new foreword and additional appendices.
