Time for Favour: The Scottish Missions to the Jews : 1838-1852 HB

The cast of characters in Time For Favour features some of the most remarkable figures in the history of missions, including an archetypal eccentric absent-minded professor, a group of gung-ho young ministers full of romantic ideas about the Holy Land and the Jews, head-strong and sometimes morally-weak missionaries and awkward mission boards. It is a story of fallible but heroic men and women who were prepared to forsake everything, even their lives, all because they not only had faith that God was far from finished with the Jewish people but they also believed in the priority of Jewish mission.”
