Description
Book SynopsisThe five-volume Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions series is governed by a motif of migration (''out-of-England''). It first traces organized church traditions that arose in Britain and Ireland as Dissenters distanced themselves from a state church defined by diocesan episcopacy, the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and Royal Supremacy, but then follows those traditions as they spread beyond Britain and Ireland--and also analyses newer traditions that emerged downstream in other parts of the world from earlier forms of Dissent. Secondly, it does the same for the doctrines, church practices, stances toward state and society, attitudes toward Scripture, and characteristic patterns of organization that also originated in earlier British and Irish dissent, but that have often defined a trajectory of influence independent of ecclesiastical organizations.The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions, Volume V follows the spatial, cultural, and intelle

There is much food for thought throughout the volume. The analysis of cultural movements and attention to theologies in the twentieth century and early twentyfirst century across the Anglophone and Majority Worlds, with attention to how they intersected and continue to intermingle, is particularly interesting. The bibliographies at the end of each chapter will be useful to readers and researchers who want to explore each topic in more depth. * Julian Gotobed, Baptist Quarterly *
