Description

F. B. Meyer: If I had a Hundred Lives…
History Maker Series
By: Bob Holman


On F.B. Meyer’s death in 1929, obituaries in the secular press were clear that he was a key player on the world scene Ð yet this is the first chronological account of his life. F.B. Meyer was the minister of one of Britain’s first Ômega-churches’. Coming from a conventional, middle class Victorian background he experienced no dramatic conversion. He was not a distinguished scholar and not a dramatic orator. His slight figure and retiring manner meant that he did not stand out in a crowd. Yet he drew crowds by the thousands, wrote books which sold by the millions, and attracted working class people.

The range of Meyer’s activities are astonishing: preacher, pastor, writer, social activist, Baptist president, advocate for missionary work and more. In his last years, he declared, ÔIf I had a hundred lives, they should be at Christ’s disposal.’ At times, it seemed as though he was living a hundred lives


Bob Holman was Prof. of Social Policy at Bath University. He lived & worked in 2 deprived areas for 26 yrs. He has written academic books & a biography of Gorge Lansbury Ð Christian socialist leader of the Labour party. He continues to write a weekly column in The Herald. Now Ôretired’ he is still active as a visiting Prof at Glasgow & Swansea Universities.
