The Art of Man-fishing by Thomas Boston
A clear and vigorous challenge to preachers and laymen to remain persistent in sharing the gospel with unsaved people. The book is split in two parts: 1. The promise of duty. How does Christ make men 'fishers of men'? Why are unconverted men compared to fish under water? In what ways are ministers fishers by office? 2. How may I come by this art? What following Christ supposes and implies? In which way is Christ to be followed? This is a classic explanation of the Puritan approach to evangelism that is also an encouragement for anyone explaining the gospel to someone else."a truly great divine"
-- Jonathan Edwards ((1703-1758) foremost leader of the Great Awakening in North America in the 18th Century)"welcomed as an equal by the finest Hebrew scholars in the world"
-- George Morison"The ‘scribble,' [as Boston called it] was published in 1773Since then it has been hailed by evangelicals as a masterpiece on ministry... The idea of a beginning preacher of 22 producing a spiritual masterpiece is startling, no doubt, but Boston was an unusual man."
Thomas Boston held a pastorate with a very small Congregation in Simprin, Scotland until 1707. He was an extremely popular preacher, though self–effacing – considering that he had but “small talents.” Many of his sermons came to be published after his death at the age of 57.
