The five-volume Oxford History of Dissenting Protestant Traditions
series is governed by a motif of migration ('out-of-England'). It
first traces organized church traditions that arose in England as
Dissenters distanced themselves from a state church defined by
diocesan episcopacy, the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine
Articles, and royal supremacy, but then follows those traditions as
they spread beyond England -and also traces newer traditions that
emerged downstream in other parts of the world from earlier forms
of Dissent. Secondly, it does the same for the doctrines, church
practices, stances toward state and society, attitudes toward
Scripture, and characteristic patterns of organization that also
originated in earlier English Dissent, but that have often defined
a trajectory of influence independent ecclesiastical organizations.
The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions, Volume II
charts the development of protestant Dissent between the passing of
the Toleration Act (1689) and the repealing of the Test and
Corporation Acts (1828). The long eighteenth century was a period
in which Dissenters slowly moved from a position of being a
persecuted minority to achieving a degree of acceptance and,
eventually, full political rights. The first part of the volume
considers the history of various dissenting traditions inside
England. There are separate chapters devoted to Presbyterians,
Congregationalists, Baptists and Quakers-the denominations that
traced their history before this period-and also to Methodists, who
emerged as one of the denominations of 'New Dissent' during the
eighteenth century. The second part explores that ways in which
these traditions developed outside England. It considers the
complexities of being a Dissenter in Wales and Ireland, where the
state church was Episcopalian, as well as in Scotland, where it was
Presbyterian. It also looks at the development of Dissent across
the Atlantic, where the relationship between church and state was
rather looser. Part three is devoted to revivalist movements and
their impact, with a particular emphasis on the importance of
missionary societies for spreading protestant Christianity from the
late eighteenth century onwards. The fourth part looks at
Dissenters' relationship to the British state and their involvement
in the campaigns to abolish the slave trade. The final part
discusses how Dissenters lived: the theology they developed and
their attitudes towards scripture; the importance of both sermons
and singing; their involvement in education and print culture and
the ways in which they expressed their faith materially through
their buildings.
