[John Inman]

It shows he’s not lazy as some would have him be (lol)! Or preoccupied with his writings to such a degree he ignored his Native American audience. He was purposeful in his sermon composition. He cared deeply about the holy task of preaching His Word. And he understood the need to craft sermons that would reach his audiences. While he was known for re-preaching some sermons, my examination shows that this was not wholly the rule, without consideration of audience and context, and that he cared about the mission that he was called to at Stockbridge among Native Americans.
