An Authentic Narrative

by John Newton

Newton's autobiographical account, first published in 1764 as a series of letters, recounting his years as a sailor in the Atlantic slave trade up to the violent 1748 storm he marked as his spiritual turning point.

The changed life

John Newton went from a profane seaman and slave-trade participant to an evangelical Anglican clergyman and hymn-writer; in later years he became an outspoken abolitionist.
