Publisher's Synopsis

John Newton (1725-1807) was an Anglican clergyman and abolitionist who wrote the beloved hymn 'Amazing Grace.' This autobiography, first published in 1764, is a powerful account of Newton's transition from a rebellious sailor to a devout Christian. It also offers firsthand insights into the transatlantic slave trade, which Newton participated in before his religious conversion. This new edition includes a foreword by historian David N. Livingstone, who places Newton's life and legacy in historical context.
