The Oxford Handbook of Early Evangelicalism: OXFORD HANDBOOKS SERIES

Editat de Jonathan Yeager
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 dec 2022
Evangelicalism, a worldwide interdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity, is one of the most popular and diverse religious movements in the world today. Evangelicals maintain the belief that the essence of the Gospel consists of the doctrine of salvation by grace, through faith in Jesus' atonement. Evangelicals can be found on every continent and among nearly all Christian denominations. The origin of this group of people has been traced to the turn of the eighteenth century, with roots in the Puritan and Pietist movements in England and Germany. The earliest evangelicals could be found among Anglicans, Baptists, Congregationalists, Methodists, Moravians, and Presbyterians throughout North America, Britain, and Western Europe, and included some of the foremost names of the age, such as Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, and George Whitefield. Early evangelicals were abolitionists, historians, hymn writers, missionaries, philanthropists, poets, preachers, and theologians. They participated in the major cultural and intellectual currents of the day, and founded institutions of higher education not limited to Dartmouth College, Brown University, and Princeton University. The Oxford Handbook of Early Evangelicalism provides the most authoritative and comprehensive overview of the significant figures and religious communities associated with early evangelicalism within the contextual and cultural environment of the long eighteenth century, with essays written by the world's leading experts in the field of eighteenth-century studies.

This present volume summarises current scholarship on this crucial eighteenth-century movement whilst providing new perspectives and suggesting potential future lines of enquiry. It is an excellent addition to the burgeoning literature on the roots and essential nature of evangelicalism and is highly recommended.
Jonathan Yeager, with his contributors, is to be commended for bringing such a fine volume to print through the very period when pandemic conditions have slowed many equally ambitious projects.
The Handbook of Early Evangelicalism is well worth reading for those interested in a fair evaluation of the movement; its development, distinctiveness, and purpose. Historical in nature, the essays provide an invaluable amount of information enticing readers into further research and a comprehensive understanding of early evangelicalism.
A valuable tool to understand the roots of the Evangelical movement.
