Robert Murray M’Cheyne
(21 May 1813 – 25 March 1843)
He was a minister in the Church of Scotland from 1835 to 1843. He was born at Edinburgh on 21 May 1813, was educated at the university and at the Divinity Hall of his native city, and was assistant at Larbert and Dunipace. A mission of inquiry among the Jews throughout Europe and in Palestine, and a religious revival at his church in Dundee, made him feel that he was being called to evangelistic rather than to pastoral work, but before he could carry out his plans he died, on 25 March 1843. McCheyne, though wielding remarkable influence in his lifetime, was still more powerful afterwards, through his Memoirs and Remains, edited by Andrew Bonar, which ran into far over a hundred English editions. Some of his hymns became well known and his Bible reading plan is still in common use
PUBLISHER’S PREFACE
The telling of the deeply spiritual life story of the young minister of the Gospel of St. Peters Church, Dundee, Scotland, Robert Murray M’Cheyne, has been used of God to bring challenge, blessing and inspiration to hundreds of thousands down through the years since his death in 1843 at the early age of 30. Few men have lived a life filled with such power and blessing in such a short span of years.
Dr. Andrew A. Bonar’s biography of this stalwart young man of God has been the
standard recognized work on the life of this prince among men. This biography is from
the larger Memoirs and Remains of the Rev. Robert Murray M’Cheyne with just the
memoirs—or biography—reprinted. The “remains,” letters and sermons of M’Cheyne
have been recently republished in the Wyckliffe Series issued by the Moody Press, but
we are presenting in the pages of this volume Bonar’s soul-stirring biography of this
young man who was so completely and wholly surrendered to the will of God. Dr.
Wilbur M. Smith, in his “Profitable Bible Study,” says, “Every minister, of whatever
denomination, should have this marvelous work.”
The publishers of this unabridged edition send it forth once again with the earnest prayer
that God will continue to use it to the inspiration and challenge of young and old alike to
realize what can be done with a life completely and absolutely dedicated to Him.
