āOf Pearceās godliness William Ward wrote, āI have seen more of God in him than in any other person I ever knew.'ā - Erroll Hulse
āThe chapter of his correspondence during his last illness is some of the most heavenly material I have ever read.ā - Joel Beeke
āWilliam Ward, who had been profoundly influenced by Pearceās zeal and spirituality, well summed up his character when he wrote not long before the latterās death: āOh, how does personal religion shine in Pearce! What a soul! What ardour for the glory of God! āyou see in him a mind wholly given up to God; a sacred lustre shines in his conversation: always tranquil, always cheerfulā I have seen more of God in him than in any other person I ever met.ā At the heart of Pearceās spirituality, both lived and taught, was the theological conviction that āreal religion consists in supreme love to God and disinterested [i.e. impartial] love to manā. Measured by this standard, there seems little doubt about the reality of Pearceās Christian faith and spirituality. There is also little question of the challenge it poses to Christians today.ā - Michael Haykin
āThe beloved friend of Andrew Fuller and William Carey, Samuel Pearce (1766-1799), personified the living relation between doctrinal purity and passion for Godās glory in evangelism. Pearce participated with boundless energy and sacrifice in the Missionary society work and served as editor of the Periodical Accounts. Not only did he promote the mission cause in England with all his might, he urged William Rogers of the Philadelphia Association to begin a Baptist foreign mission society in America that would involve the energies of the entire denomination. Cathcartās Encyclopedia calls him āone of the warmest advocates of foreign missions that dwelt on earth since the Son of Mary came from his heavenly home on a foreign mission to this lost world.ā He has been compared to Robert Murray McCheyne and David Brainerd for combination of fervent piety and zeal.ā - Tom Nettles
