Synopsis: What may happen when Christians take doctrine seriously?
One possible answer is that the shape of churchly life "on the
ground" can be significantly altered. This pioneering study is both
an account of the doctrine of the person of Christ as it has been
expounded by the theologians of historic English and Welsh
Nonconformity, and an attempt to show that while many
Nonconformists held classical orthodox views of the doctrine
between 1600 and 2000, others advocated alternative understandings
of Christ's person; hence the evolution of the ecclesial landscape
as we have come to know it. The traditions here under review are
those of Old Dissent: the Congregationalists, Baptists,
Presbyterians and their Unitarian heirs; and the Calvinistic and
Arminian Methodist bodies that owe their origin to the Evangelical
Revival of the eighteenth century. Endorsements: "This encyclopedic
but accessible survey stands as witness to the church's ongoing
wrestle with an ancient question--'Who do you say that I am?' It
demonstrates Professor Sell's acumen as a meticulous researcher,
his contagious devotion to the nonconformist tradition, and his
aptitude for bringing the dead back to life. With wit and
sober-headedness, this bold and theologically informed study
records many christological enthusiasms and ecclesiological
consequences that this perduring question has birthed--its
invitation lingers still." -Rev. Dr. Jason Goroncy Lecturer and
Dean of Studies Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership Author
