John Piper writes with a pastor’s heart and a scholar’s pen. This concise
study makes for compelling reading, with its eloquent exploration of
Wilberforce’s Christian faith and the first principles that flowed from it.
One cannot rightly understand Wilberforce’s legacy as a reformer with-
out understanding how his faith informed that legacy. Such a faith and
such a legacy have much to say to us still. This is a book to savor and
treasure.
