Title: Evangelical theology in the Englishspeaking world during the nineteenth century
Abstract: Evangelical theology was the prevailing mode of Christian thinking in the English-speaking world during the nineteenth century. It was the doctrinal system professed by the Evangelical Revival in Britain and the Great Awakening in America that in the previous century had given birth to Methodism, transformed the Congregationalists and Baptists into eagerly expanding bodies and begun to revitalise the Anglicans and Presbyterians. The revival was a pan-Protestant phenomenon and its adherents tended to sit loose to the detail of creeds inherited from the period of the Reformation. In this article the author provides an overview of these developments, paying close attention to the characters and the dogma-historical ideologies that constituted this version of Protestant spirituality in the modern history of the Church.
