The Expansion Of Evangelicalism

Description

This volume provides an authoritative account of evangelicalism from the 1790s to the 1840s, balancing British and American developments and also encompassing Canada, Australia, the West Indies and elsewhere. An account of the formative impact of revivalism is followed by discussion of spirituality and worship, and the place of evangelicalism in the lives of women, men and the family. The book then explores the broader social and political impact of the movement, giving particular attention to the slavery question.
