Beskrivning

A major study of the impact of the Swiss RTveil (Awakening) on British evangelicals in the 1820s. This book provides an important synthesis of a variety of tendencies and movements which have usually been treated and understood as separate. By resisting the temptation to read back into the 1820s the partisan labels of later decades, Timothy Stunt rediscovers the common ground which was shared by a wide spectrum of Christians who were later seen as mutually hostile. The author considers the influence of the Awakening on radical attitudes to mission and ecclesiastical radicalism in Ireland, pre-Tractarian Oxford, and Scotland. In dealing with the reluctant movement towards secession from the established church, Stunt illuminates and reinterprets the origins of the early Catholic Apostolic Church and the Brethren.

Recensioner i media

'...a work of great importance.' Professor Andrew F Walls, University of Edinburgh 'This original, well-documented study fits new pieces into the jigsaw of Evangelical history. It describes the network of radical movements as far apart as Dublin, Glasgow, Devon and Geneva, whose members were fired by similar charismatic and millennial hopes into abandoning their established churches and forming new religious movements. Stunt's book illustrates the international aspects of the great Evangelical awakening after 1789.' Dr John Walsh, University of Oxford '...a significant contribution to scholarship at the highest level.' Professor D. W. Bebbington, University of Stirling 'This is a detailed and fascinating study of revival and rediscovery. [. . .] 'Only connect' is good advice in church history as well as literature, and this excellently researched and annotated work does this and intrigues me to want to enquire further.' Derek Murray, The Baptist Quarterly
