Life of Dr Duff and missionary education in India
The Rev. Dr George Swern praises Duff as a transformative force in Indian Christian education, noting his deep knowledge of Indian affairs, the unity with Duff’s aims and the enduring impact of his methods. Duff’s early life, conversion, and Evangelical zeal are examined, with emphasis on his strategy to engage the Hindoo mind and the balance of religious and secular teaching. Duff was born in 1806 in Perthshire to a Covenanting father, whose influence shaped his piety and dreams of judgment.
