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 Britain and
Ireland 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 Britain and Ireland-and also
analyses 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 British and Irish
dissent, but that have often defined a trajectory of influence
independent of ecclesiastical organizations. The Oxford History of
Protestant Dissenting Traditions, Volume V follows the spatial,
cultural, and intellectual changes in dissenting identity and
practice in the twentieth century, as these once European
traditions globalized. While in Europe dissent was often against
the religious state, dissent in a globalizing world could redefine
itself against colonialism or other secular and religious
monopolies. The contributors trace the encounters of dissenting
Protestant traditions with modernity and globalization; changing
imperial politics; challenges to biblical, denominational, and
pastoral authority; local cultures and languages; and some of the
century's major themes, such as race and gender, new technologies,
and organizational change. In so doing, they identify a vast array
of local and globalizing illustrations which will enliven
conversations about the role of religion, and in particular
Christianity.
