About This Book
This acclaimed volume explores the life and religious thought of John Newton (1725–1807), the famous converted slave-trader who wrote the hymn “Amazing Grace.” Drawing on extensive, untapped archival and antiquarian sources, D. Bruce Hindmarsh’s scholarly yet thoroughly enjoyable book, called “a milestone in evangelical historiography,” offers the best available study of Newton’s life and the English evangelical tradition.
