Contents
David Brainerd was an early 18th century American missionary to the Native Americans who had a particularly fruitful ministry among the Delaware Indians of New Jersey. The work was taken from Brainerd's own diary, but was substantially changed by Edwards in order to better present an example of a man who countered the Arminian viewpoint.[2][3]
Impact
The work was a major influence on the domestic and foreign missionary movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and has been the most frequently reprinted book by Edwards.[4]
