John Newton (1725-1807) was an English seaman, Anglican clergyman, former slave trader and abolitionist who, after a near-death storm at sea and years of reflection on his role in the slave trade, underwent a profound Christian conversion. His past as a trafficker in human lives deeply shaped his theology of sin and redemption, culminating in his hymn \"Amazing Grace\" – a testimony of God's mercy that saved a \"wretch\" like him.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MFR Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57121087291767,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0456\/6872\/8995\/files\/SAM_1439_6f4d0376-6979-4268-b2f1-cffb70631835.jpg?v=1779689209","url":"https:\/\/rarebooksboutique.com\/products\/memoirs-of-the-rev-john-newton-1822-draft","provider":"MFR Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
