The Life of Samuel Pearce

By Andrew Fuller | Foreword by Michael A.G. Haykin

In the eyes of the author of this book, Andrew Fuller (1754–1815), Pearce (1766–1799) was the epitome of the spirituality of their community. In fact, in that far-off day of the late eighteenth century Pearce was indeed well known for the anointing that attended his preaching and for the depth of his spirituality. It was said of him that “his ardour … gave him a kind of ubiquity; as a man and a preacher, he was known, he was felt everywhere.”
