Much of the social and industrial history written during the last
quarter of the twentieth century presented Welsh working-class
culture in terms of a thirst for knowledge that was secular,
economic and political. The emphasis was squarely placed on the
influence of the union lodge and the workingmen's institute, and
priority was given to the importance of sport and the public house
in the life of the working class. Relatively little attention was
given to religion and its continuing influence on industrial
communities, despite the fact that the 1904 - 5 revival brought
many thousands into contact with the chapel. Inspired in part by
the challenge of socialist and labour agitation and in part by
theological considerations, Nonconformists moved away from
specifically political involvement and developed their own
responses to the social questions of the day. This new edition will
appeal to a fresh generation of scholars and readers interested in
Wales's Nonconformist history, presenting an exploration of Welsh
social thinking, politics and religion.
While the Christian faith has played a major part in the history of
both Wales and Scotland, there has been little previous work
looking at their histories in a comparative manner. In the light of
the establishment of the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish
Parliament, this issue is of particular contemporary importance.
This collection discusses religion in Scotland and Wales from a
historical perspective and examines the contribution of religion to
the sense of national identity in the period from the Evangelical
Revival to the present day. It suggests that the histories of the
two nations are only understood when the religious dimension is
taken seriously. The various essays collected here offer new
perspectives on particular denominations, from the Scottish
Covenanters to Welsh Methodism, as well as discussing individual
figures such as Howell Harris, Edward Irving and Arthur Price, in
order to examine the complex relationship between language,
national identity and religion. Religion and National Identity is
an original and timely contribution, not only to the religious
histories of Wales and Scotland, but also to the collective history
of Great Britain in the modern period.

R. Tudur Jones's history of Welsh Congregationalism, which has long
been recognized as the standard and authoritative work in this
field, is made available to English readers in this translation.
Written in an accessible style, this scholarly work describes a key
aspect of Welsh and Welsh-English history, showing how Wales's
religious history is intertwined with the emergence of a national
identity. Over four centuries of religious and social history,
events, characters, and thought are examined, focusing on ways in
which the Congregationalist movement impacted and strengthened the
literary traditions and political consciousness of the Welsh
people.
Much work in the field of theology and film lacks a really
theological focus. This book suggests a methodology based on the
recognition of the imagination as the fundamental category in
producing and interpreting film. The argument is presented that the
imagination holds theological significance when it is conceived of
in certain ways. As a result, the book adopts the 'paradigmatic
imagination' (an imagination which works within the paradigms of
scripture) or 'theological imagination' (one grounded in
theological forms), which is both noetic (it is the image-making
faculty of the mind) and almost ontological (it is that which draws
human beings into the future which they are able to construct or
bring into being). Once the theological (paradigmatic) imagination
has been identified and justified, its insights will be applied to
'Jesus films' and 'Christ figure films' asking whether or not they
provide us with valid Christological understanding. Films with
redemptive or salvific themes are discussed as is the popularity of
mythical stories and animation. The final chapter will make the
case that the engagement of the theological imagination with film
is a method in practical theology.
