Graham,

Did Henry Martyn believe in the the uniqueness of Christ and that his blood alone atones for our sin? Was the wellspring of his passion to bring the gospel to the heathen the same vision of their lost eternity which inspired C T Studd? Do those who claim to follow him share this vision? What would he think of the work now done in his name?

We have just published on Fulcrum my Henry Martyn Centre and Cambridge Theological Federation lecture given yesterday in the Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge, 'Henry Martyn: Missionary Scholar for our Age?'. It is also on the site of the Henry Martyn Centre for the study of mission and world Christianity.
