John Stott said Charles Simeon was his mentor, through his writing, and that it was Simeon who taught him how to preach. He asked for words from Simeon's memorial plaque in Holy Trinity Church to be written on his own headstone (in Dale churchyard in Pembrokeshire, near his writing retreat, The Hookses). Simeon also had a profound influence on Dick Lucas, founder of the Proclamation Trust, and on David R Helm, Chairman of the Charles Simeon Trust.
Charles Simeon (1759-1836) was one of the foremost evangelical leaders of the Anglican church. While based in Holy Trinity, Cambridge all his life, his influence stretched across the world.
Henry Martyn, whom he loved as a son, was his curate. Henry Martyn's influence through his Bible translation into Urdu, Persian, Judeao-Persian and Arabic was wide-reaching.
This short book looks at Simeon's life, and tracks his legacy down to the present day. The Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union (CICCU) which formed the root of mission endeavour in many parts of the world, traces its beginnings to Simeon. He purchased advowsons (the right to appoint clergy) in many parishes, and Simeon's Trustees (now merged with Hyndman's Trust) continue to make these appointments.
The silhouette artist Edouart Augustin cut Simeon's silhouettes as he preached. This book features each of the silhouettes.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Charles Simeon was the most influential evangelical in the Church of England during the age of Wilberforce - a powerful influence over successive generation of Cambridge ordinands. Here is an attractive vignette of a great preacher and a great man.
David Bebbington - Professor of History, University of Stirling.
As an undergraduate at King's, I was thankful for the teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the College and the University. The work carried on so faithfully by Charles Simeon, a fellow of King's and vicar of Holy Trinity, continues today.
Jeremy Lefroy - MP for Stafford constituency.
Charles Simeon's commitment to expository preaching, personal godliness, and global mission is inspiring. I pray it will continue to influence evangelical ministry for generations to come.
Vaughan Roberts - Rector, St Ebbe's Church, Oxford.
One of the great preachers, and with an unparalleled commitment to training, Simeon's influence persists. This little volume is a great window into that man and his legacy.
David R Helm - Chairman, Charles Simeon Trust; Senior Pastor, Christ Church, Chicago.
