Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In eighteenth century England the Evangelical Revival took place mainly under the preaching of John and Charles Wesley, and George Whitefield. But as well as these famous, well known figures, there were many other preachers and workers who aided the Wesley's in establishing Methodism throughout the British Isles. One of those unsung heroes was the Rev William Grimshaw, the perpetual curate of Haworth in Yorkshire. Grimshaw (1708-1763), undergoing an evangelical conversion experience whilst serving as an Anglican clergyman in Todmorden, took up a Church position at nearby Haworth and became one of the most important revival preachers in the north of England. Charismatic, if not eccentric, this evangelist, dubbed "Mad Grimshaw" due to his fiery preaching style, travelling and preaching throughout the northern counties, was the main figure establishing a circuit of well regulated religious groups known as the "Great Haworth Round". His life not only provides a picture of an 18th century revivalist but it also gives insight into the lives of other, lesser known revival preachers, such as Benjamin Ingham and John Bennet. This booklet presents an informative bite size introduction to Grimshaw's life, an excellent read for anyone interested in Methodism or revival history, and for any visitor to Haworth and Grimshaw's church.

Download or read book Evangelicalism in Modern Britain written by David W. Bebbington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major textbook is a newly researched historical study of Evangelical religion in its British cultural setting from its inception in the time of John Wesley to charismatic renewal today. The Church of England, the Church of Scotland and the variety of Nonconformist denominations and sects in England, Scotland and Wales are discussed, but the book concentrates on the broad patterns of change affecting all the churches. It shows the great impact of the Evangelical movement on nineteenth-century Britain, accounts for its resurgence since the Second World War and argues that developments in the ideas and attitudes of the movement were shaped most by changes in British culture. The contemporary interest in the phenomenon of Fundamentalism, especially in the United States, makes the book especially timely.

Download or read book Evangelicals and Education written by Khim Harris and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first history of English public schools founded by Evangelicals in the nineteenth century. Five existing public schools can be traced back to this period: Cheltenham College, Dean Close School, Monkton Combe School, Trent College, and St LawrenceÕs College. Some of these schools were set up in direct competition with new Anglo-Catholic schools, while others drew their inspiration from and, to a greater or lesser extent, were modelled on their rivals. Harris documents, for the first time, the rise of Evangelical societies such as the influential Church Association and the little-known Clerical and Lay Associations. An extensive bibliography and useful biographical survey of influential Evangelicals of the period completes this groundbreaking study.

Download or read book Jonathan Edwards s Apologetic for the Great Awakening written by Robert Davis Smart and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1740s Jonathan Edwards emerged as the New Light proponent of the claim that the Great Awakening was, in the main, a true work of the Spirit of God. Conversely, Charles Chauncy led the Old Lights in opposition by offering criticisms of the Awakening. In this book, Robert Davis Smart examines Edwards’s defense of the revival with particular attention to Chauncy’s criticisms, which have often been acknowledged but not previously subjected to thorough analysis. He sets forth historical and contextual factors that shaped Edwards and his generation, shows how Edwards emerged as a leader of the revival from its early days, and offers an updated survey of the modern attempts to interpret the Awakening theologically, sociologically, and historically. Here is a detailed treatment of the contrasting perspectives of Edwards and Chauncy, an extensive analysis of their major works regarding the revival, an able assessment of the essential issues raised by the debate, and an evaluation of the significant contributions of these men. Table of Contents: Introduction to Edwards’s Historical Context Chapter One: Jonathan Edwards and the Great Awakening Chapter Two: Interpretations of the Awakening Chapter Three: The Distinguishing Marks and Some Thoughts Chapter Four: Chauncy’s Seasonable Thoughts Chapter Five: Edwards’s Final Response to Chauncy Conclusion: The Debate and Its Legacy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Jago reinforces the view of recent scholars that, when judged by what it tried to do instead of by what Victorian reformers thought it ought to have tried to do, the Georgian church was successful in maintaining the spiritual life of the parishes - though perhaps not so well-equipped to survive intact the unprecedented changes in population and industry that reshaped Yorkshire and English society in the later eighteenth century.
