This series presents, for the first time, a connected history of
evangelical movements throughout the English-speaking world, from
the 1730s to the 1990s. The five volumes are united by their use of
a common definition of evangelicalism that stresses conversion,
reliance on Scripture, activism (especially in evangelism) and the
centrality of the cross of Christ. The series offers provocative
interpretations as well as factual details, provides extensive
bibliographical references and is accessible to a wide readership.
This volume provides a coherent, multi-national narrative of the
origins, development and rapid diffusion of evangelical movements
in their first two generations, from the 1730s to the 1790s. The
primary focus is on Britain and North America; historical links to
Europe and then connections to Africa, Australia and beyond are
also important. Much of the discussion is devoted to landmark
individuals, events and organizations, and contains many
biographical sketches of the era's best-known leaders - Jonathan
Edwards, John and Charles Wesley, George Whitefield, Selina,
Countess of Huntingdon, John Newton, Hannah More - along with many
lesser-known figures.
