La bibliothèque Henry Martyn porte le nom du célèbre prêtre anglican, missionnaire, ancien étudiant et membre du St John’s College de Cambridge. One hundred years on, the now Henry Martyn Centre reimagined its purpose for the 21st century, facilitating academic research, teaching, and dialogue of World Christianity to study this remarkable story of Christianity’s worldwide expansion. Yet, as the 20th century unfolded, unforeseen changes in church and society led to a demographic shift of Christianity to the global South. Opened in 1898 at a time of increased evangelical zeal, its aim was to inspire university students into lifelong overseas missionary service. The Henry Martyn Library was named after the renowned Anglican priest, missionary, former student and Fellow of St John’s College, Cambridge.
