This volume makes a significant contribution to the 'history of
ecclesiastical histories', with a fresh analysis of historians of
evangelicalism from the eighteenth century to the present. It
explores the ways in which their scholarly methods and theological
agendas shaped their writings. Each chapter presents a case study
in evangelical historiography. Some of the historians and
biographers examined here were ministers and missionaries, while
others were university scholars. They are drawn from Anglican,
Baptist, Congregationalist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Fundamentalist
and Pentecostal denominations. Their histories cover not only
transatlantic evangelicalism, but also the spread of the movement
across China, Africa, and indeed the whole globe. Some wrote for a
popular Christian readership, emphasising edification and
evangelical hagiography; others have produced weighty monographs
for the academy. These case studies shed light on the way the
discipline has developed, and also the heated controversies over
whether one approach to evangelical history is more legitimate than
the rest. As a result, this book will be of considerable interest
to historians of religion.
