First published in 1999, the world of Christian radicalism in the
first half of the nineteenth century is reconstructed here with
thorough research by Eileen Groth Lyon. Christian radicals, during
this period, sought to incite political action through the use of
Scripture, using such themes as the rights of man as founded in
God's gift of creation, the deliverance of oppressed peoples, and
the perceived favour towards the poor shown in the Gospels. The
author tracks the origin and fate of the movement for the first
time, from its beginnings in the eighteenth century, through its
implementation in the major politic agitations of the early and
mid-nineteenth century, to its fruition in the achievements of the
campaigns for parliamentary, factory and poor law reform. By
focusing on the Christian radical programme, Politicians in the
Pulpit advances a new understanding of the most important political
initiatives of early Victorian Britain.
