William Carey Livres
William Carey était un missionaire protestant anglais et un ministre baptiste, largement considéré comme le "père des missions modernes". Sa contribution la plus significative réside dans son œuvre de traduction exhaustive, qui a permis de rendre la Bible en bengali, en sanskrit et dans de nombreuses autres langues et dialectes. Les efforts de Carey ont jeté les bases d'initiatives missionnaires de grande envergure à l'échelle mondiale. Son héritage durable est reconnu non seulement dans les études théologiques, mais aussi par le biais de plusieurs établissements d'enseignement supérieur qui portent son nom.
