About person:John Philip (1775-1851)ISNI
Abstract:The Scottish preacher John Philip (1775-1851) was the central figure linking all the Protestant missionary societies in southern Africa in the 19th century, except the Methodists. This study of his career in South Africa attempts to relate his Scottish roots to what he said and did. It is also to place him as one of the leaders of a worldwide evangelical crusade.
