Beskrivning
A biographical study of the Scottish journalist and man of letters William Robertson Nicoll, and his influence on the development of English Nonconformity.A study of William Robertson Nicoll, a non-conformist individual who had considerable influence in the late 19th Century. Originally a minister, he was considered a great leader and was also a theological conservative, and therefore committed to maintaining the orthodox stance of the Christian Churches, but at the same time, he encouraged many of the new ideas, which he felt would prove a useful and hopeful benefit for the Church. Due to health issues he was later forced to retire his position and focused on work as an editor and journalist, bringing with him the same sense of leadership he had previously been known for. The debate over his legacy continues and is addressed within this study using previously unstudied information on Nicoll's life.

Recensioner i media

Ive's book is based on extensive archival research and captures the multifaceted nature of Nicoll's contributions [...] Keith Ives has given us a well-written, balanced and engaging biography, which is especially good on the context of the Nonconformist conscience. As Ives demonstrates, Nicoll's efforts to bring Nonconformity into the cultural mainstream of British life contributed to the waning of a distinctive Nonconformist identity and may have ultimately diminished religious influence.
