The word evangelical is widely used and widely misunderstood Where did evangelicals come from? What motivated them? How did their influence become so widespread throughout the world during the eighteenth century? This inaugural book in a series that charts the course of English-speaking evangelicalism over the last three hundred years offers a multinational narrative of the origin, development and rapid diffusion of evangelical movements in their first two generations. Theology, hymnody, gender, warfare, politics and science are all taken into consideration.

In this volume we find the fascinating story of their formation, their strengths and their weaknesses, but always their dynamism..
