People today are frantically searching for security and are increasingly not finding it in a material philosophy where other people dictate to us. A church that hopes to transform this society needs to look to those who were enabled to perform the same task in a similar era.  Each one of these men was associated with Oxford whilst proving their mettle as spiritual leaders. Each one kept alive and added to the passionate flame of a remarkable line of influential church leaders.  No lesser authority than J. C. Ryle placed \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Whitefield \u003c\/strong\u003e (1714–1770) as the foremost Christian leader of the 18th century. He, in turn, passed the torch to \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Newton\u003c\/strong\u003e (1725–1807). Newton was as a spiritual father to \u003cstrong\u003eThomas Scott\u003c\/strong\u003e (1747–1821) and \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Cecil\u003c\/strong\u003e (1748–1810) and they in turn were the spiritual guides to \u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Wilson \u003c\/strong\u003e (1778–1858). Wilson launched a missionary emphasis still seen today in Oxford churches. What this book helps us understand is that the situation that prevailed when these men influenced their society is similar to that of today. If we want to change the world then their stories could inspire us to do just that. \u003cbr\u003e  Sir Marcus Loane has also written  Cambridge and the Evangelical Succession ( ISBN 987–1–84550–244–7). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Loane provokes the intellect and the imagination and deserves the credit for achieving such a difficult feat. In short this book is spiritually uplifting, exceedingly informative and thoroughly enjoyable. I would wholeheartedly commend it to the reading public.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- Michael Gray","brand":"Christian Focus Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51456190021975,"sku":"9781845502454","price":17.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845502454.jpg?v=1755034157","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/oxford-and-the-evangelical-succession-9781845502454","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
