A Narrative of the Lord's Wonderful Dealings with John Marrant, A Black Analysis

A Narrative of the Lord's Wonderful Dealings with John Marrant is exactly what it sounds like. Differing from other books written by John Marrant, this one is distinguished by scholars for likely having been dictated as opposed to being transcribed by Marrant himself. This factor is significant not only for diction but also in content. Most likely transcribed by white British clerics, much of Marrant's characteristic charm and cultural richness remains largely absent in this text.

The writing of this book proves relevant both to its instruction for the reader and to Marrant personally. As a convert from George Whitfield's ministry, Marrant intensely admired the man. When the two reunited in London years later, Marrant leaped at the chance to reveal how profoundly his life had changed since their first meeting. He was eager to testify how God had blessed him and used his life to transform the people around him as well.
