Product Description

Product Description

Bebbington presents a newly researched historical study of Evangelical religion in its British cultural setting. Focusing on patterns of change affecting all churches, it details how the movement has been moulded by British culture.


From the Back Cover

Since the 1730s Evangelicalism has been an important religious tradition in Britain. It moulded society in the nineteenth century and was itself transformed by the cultural forces at work in society. This major textbook is a newly researched historical study of Evangelical religion in its British cultural setting from its inception in the time of John Wesley to charismatic renewal today. The Church of England, the Church of Scotland and the variety of Nonconformist denominations and sects in England, Scotland and Wales are discussed, but the book concentrates on the broad patterns of change affecting all the churches. It shows the great impact of the Evangelical movement on nineteenth-century Britain, accounts for its resurgence since the Second World War and argues that developments in the ideas and attitudes of the movement were shaped most by changes in British culture. The contemporary interest in the phenomenon of Fundamentalism, especially in the United States, makes the book especially timely.

5.0 out of 5 stars the definitive history of British evangelicalism, 27 Mar 2001
Dr Bebbington's book is the definitive work on evangelical Christianity in Britain. Packed with detail and based on prodigious scholarship in a wide variety of primary sources yet written in an engaging and witty style. Bebbington surveys all aspects of evangelicalism since the 1730s and brings forward a number of challenging interpretations. Of particular interest is his contextualisation of evangelical religiosity with the cultural trends and patterns of each period under scrutiny, which make this a book which has a scope far beyond mere ecclesiastical history. For scholars and amateur enthusiasts alike, very highly recommended indeed.
