Evangelicalism, a worldwide interdenominational movement within
Protestant Christianity, is one of the most popular and diverse
religious movements in the world today. Evangelicals maintain the
belief that the essence of the Gospel consists of the doctrine of
salvation by grace, through faith in Jesus' atonement. Evangelicals
can be found on every continent and among nearly all Christian
denominations. The origin of this group of people has been traced
to the turn of the eighteenth century, with roots in the Puritan
and Pietist movements in England and Germany. The earliest
evangelicals could be found among Anglicans, Baptists,
Congregationalists, Methodists, Moravians, and Presbyterians
throughout North America, Britain, and Western Europe, and included
some of the foremost names of the age, such as Jonathan Edwards,
John Wesley, and George Whitefield. Early evangelicals were
abolitionists, historians, hymn writers, missionaries,
philanthropists, poets, preachers, and theologians. They
participated in the major cultural and intellectual currents of the
day, and founded institutions of higher education not limited to
Dartmouth College, Brown University, and Princeton University. The
Oxford Handbook of Early Evangelicalism provides the most
authoritative and comprehensive overview of the significant figures
and religious communities associated with early evangelicalism
within the contextual and cultural environment of the long
eighteenth century, with essays written by the world's leading
experts in the field of eighteenth-century studies.
