British Evangelical Identities Past and Present: Volume 1: Aspects of the History and Sociology of Evangelicalism in Britain and Ireland

The nature of evangelical identity in Britain is both a perennial issue and an urgent one.

This is especially the case because evangelical Christianity has, throughout its history, been characterised by a remarkable degree of dynamism and diversity. These essays, by a distinguished list of contributors, explore the issue of evangelical identity and the nature of evangelical diversity by investigating the interactions of evangelicalism with national and denominational identities, race and gender, and its expression in spirituality and culture from the evangelical revivals of the eighteenth century to evangelical churches and movements of the present.
