The five-volume Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting 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.
Volume IV examines the globalization of dissenting traditions in
the twentieth century. During this period, Protestant Dissent
achieved not only its widest geographical reach but also the
greatest genealogical distance from its point of origin. Covering
Africa, Asia, the Middle East, America, Europe, Latin America, and
the Pacific, this collection provides detailed examination of
Protestant Dissent as a globalizing movement. Contributors probe
the radical shifts and complex reconstruction that took place as
dissenting traditions encountered diverse cultures and took root in
a multitude of contexts, many of which were experiencing major
historical change at the same time. This authoritative overview
unambiguously reveals that 'Dissent' was transformed as it
travelled.
