A fervant millennial hope has often existed at the heart of
Protestant evangelicalism. Varieties of eschatology have exercised
a profound impact on the movement's theology and history. Although
millennialism had a respected lineage within conservative
Protestantism, it flourished with enormous energy in the early
nineteenth century as evangelicals responded to the threat of the
American and European revolutions and the cultural pessimism of the
Romantic movement. By mid-century, the millennialism which had
first been articulated for the defence of Protestant conservatism
had paved the way for the subversion of historic theology and
church practice, as a growing confidence in biblical inerrancy and
the 'literal' hermeneutic challenged many of the historical
assumptions of the evangelical faith. This volume of essays expands
on neglected aspects of the impact of the evangelical millennialism
in Britain and Ireland between 1800 and 1880 and includes an essay
charting recent trends in the study of millennialism.
