Andrew Murray
Brief Biography
Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was a minister, teacher, and missionary of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa. He was born in South Africa, being educated in Scotland and the Netherlands (where he was ordained), before returning to his home country for ministry in 1849. In 1862 he became moderator of the Dutch Reformed Church and fought for evangelical principles. After 1879 he was active in evangelism with tours of revival meetings which proved extremely successful. In addition to being a prolific author, Murray helped to found the Dutch Reformed missionary union in South Africa, as well as several schools and a prayer union. His social and political activism touched on education and race issues, even warning against the Nationalistic ideology that would later result in Apartheid.
Brief Description
An examination of the work and works to which the Christian is called.
Detail Description
This book, written in 1901, has as its main purpose to “…remind all Christian workers of the greatness and the glory of the work in which God gives a share. It is nothing less than that work of bringing men back to their God, at which God finds His highest glory and blessedness.” Its second aim is to guide and encourage those who feel that they are “apparently laboring in vain”
A series of 31 addresses, in Murray’s familiar style – short devotional commentaries on select Scripture verses – makes up this book. From the first chapter (“Waiting and Working”), suggesting promise and potential, to the concluding chapter (“That God may be Glorified”), reminding of the consummate aim and purpose of the Christian life, the idea of works (working and good works both) is thoroughly examined.
