This book comprises fuller versions of the papers presented at the second conference of the Association of Denominational Historical Societies and Cognate Libraries. Scholars representative of a number of Nonconformist traditions reflect thematically on Free Church life and witness during the twentieth century. Among the subjects reviewed are biblical studies, theology, worship, evangelism and spirituality, and ecumenism. Over and above its immediate interest, this collection will provide a marker to future scholars and others who may wish to know how some of their forebears assessed Nonconformity's contribution to a variety of fields during the century leading up to Christianity's third millennium.

This is the story of a man's adventures on the sea during the Second World War. The author's training as a marine, his time aboard HMS Nelson in Operations Pedestal and Torch and his experiences both in service and on leave are reflected upon with fondness and often with humour, and the stories he tells combine to create both a snapshot of the military and a warm portrait of a young serviceman's life.
