The 29th Pure Gold Classic, William Wilberforce Greatest Works presents the very best of this great man's life and work. It includes his Practical View of Christianity, historic papers, and a wonderful biography of the man who became the conscience of the world and helped bring an end to the practice of slavery in the civilized world. William Wilberforce, the son of a wealthy merchant, was born in Hull in 1759. William's father died when he was young, and for a time William was brought up by an uncle and aunt. William came under the influence of his aunt, who was a strong supporter of John Wesley and the Methodist movement. This volume includes an audio CD of Wilberforce's 1789 Abolition Speech and excerpts from A Practical View of Christianity. |
