Abstract:
Juvenile associations in aid of foreign missions made their appearance both in the Church of England and in the Nonconformist churches in the wake of the successful campaign in 1813 to modify the East India Company charter in order to open British India to evangelical missionary work. The fervour which the campaign engendered led to the formation of numerous local associations in support of the missionary societies. In some cases these associations had juvenile branches attached. However, until the 1840s children’s activity in aid of foreign missions was relatively sporadic. Children’s mission

Abstract:
The concept of the synod plays a special role in the Evangelical ecclesiology. In the 20th century, the synod was radically defined as “the personification of the Church.” In the Evangelical tradition, however, there are equal Church management systems: episcopal, synodal-consistory, presbyterian (mainly in the Evangelical-Reformed denomination), and to a lesser extent congregational (especially observed in the so-called free Churches). Reformation theology understands the Church as a community of all saints, where the Gospel is preached purely and the sacraments are properly administered (Aug

Abstract What does renewal mean in the context of the planting of the Free Evangelical Church in 1854? Heiser argues that the renewal draws upon a constructed ideal of the New Testament church. This ideal is used as an overall concept of renewal. In a setting of political and cultural change due to the industrial era combined with the movement of the Evangelical Brethren Society and influenced by the „Réviel“ rises a model of a community with voluntary membership and congregational-Presbyterian structure.

Is the liturgy local and contextual and growing from below, or is it controlled from above? Does the liturgy belong to the people and to the congregation, and are they allowed to use it in their own way? Or is the liturgy the property of the Church, which gives strict orders for its use? Is it powerful men and women, meaning those people with authority, and the institutions (for example, the Church Synod and the Bishops’ Conference) who define the methods and ways in which liturgy is enculturated? Or do the ways of inculturation involve development from below, from the common people, even the

Abstract:
Chapter 5 explores the religious, spiritual, and secular lives of Evangelical twentysomethings, who account for 30% of all twentysomethings. Using congregational ethnographies of two Evangelical churches, this chapter describes why and how religiously active Evangelicals, which includes most Evangelicals, select a church to join. Relying on in-depth interviews, this chapter identifies what draws Evangelicals to church and what kinds of churches appeal to them. This chapter also describes the distinctive strategies deployed by Black and multiracial churches to attract young adults. Using the National Study of American Twentysomething findings, the chapter examines what distinguishes Active, Nominal, and Estranged Evangelical twentysomethings. In conclusion, this chapter closes with analysis of the similarities and differences among Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, and Catholic twentysomethings.

Abstract:
This chapter finds that a broad set of laypeople serve as opinion leaders, helping their less politically engaged peers to link evangelical identity to conservative politics. Local opinion leaders help define evangelical identity in partisan terms, such that voting Democratic is incompatible with being a Christian. The chapter argues that these opinion leaders contribute to “thin coherence” between religious identity and partisanship, even for individuals in their church who subscribe to moderate, progressive, or ambivalent political attitudes. Evangelical Christians do not collectively subscribe to consistently conservative attitudes on economic, moral, and foreign policy issues. The problem with this interpretation is that it treats evangelicalism as the aggregate of the individuals who belong to it. But this ignores the powerful mechanisms that link evangelical identity to partisanship at the congregational level.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that the accelerated ascendency of megachurch celebrity pastors is best examined and understood in terms of marketing strategy and commodification processes specific to a digital age in which social media and interactive technologies are impacting the identity formation of Christians and non-Christians alike. It demonstrates how relationships between celebrity pastors and their congregants are mediated by cultural and technological shifts as church branding has become integral to evangelical purpose. It compares two campaigns to market books by celebrity pastors—Mark Driscoll's Real Marriage (2012) and Judah Smith's Jesus Is (2013). It considers how pastors have managed to gain celebrity and inspire congregational growth in what is considered one of the least churched cities in the United States—Seattle.

Abstract:
Jane Laurie Borthwick (1813–97), and her sister Sarah Borthwick Findlater (1823–1907), take their place alongside the Englishwomen Catherine Winkworth and Frances Cox as the foremost translators into English of German hymnody. Their volume, Hymns from the Land of Luther (1853, rev. 1884), introduced into Scottish churches the popular theology of Lutheran and Moravian Pietists. Previously, the Reformed distrust of ‘human words’ had limited congregational singing in Scotland to Psalms and Paraphrases; while an Established Church with a heavy investment in social conformity had resisted the Pietist stress on individualist faith. However, with the Disruption and the founding of the Free Church, a space was opened for this profoundly experiential theology of an intimate relationship with Jesus. The Borthwick sisters were instrumental in popularizing in Scotland an evangelical vocabulary of suffering, guilt, desire, and ecstatic consummation, in which there was a natural association between the Christian virtues and the feminine.

Abstract:
Scottish Dissent included the Reformed Presbyterians, who upheld the covenants, the Secession, both Burghers and Antiburghers, who also looked back to the seventeenth century, and the Relief Church, which was forward-looking. The Secession branches split around 1800 over New Light, the majority effectively adopting religious toleration. John Dick and John Brown were distinguished Secession theologians. Non-Presbyterian Dissenters included the Glasites, with their Sandemanian view of faith, the Old Scots Independents, the Bereans and the Scotch Baptists, all principled Independents. The Haldane brothers launched a new evangelistic movement that led to the creation of many Independent and Baptist churches, and their associate Greville Ewing forged a Congregational Union. A number of other groups added to the diversity of Scottish Dissent. Drawing on the Westminster Confession, the various bodies were influenced by the Enlightenment and by the Evangelical Revival.

Abstract:
The American Congregational minister Jonathan Edwards maintained a long-standing correspondence with the Church of Scotland clergymen William McCulloch, James Robe, Thomas Gillespie, John Maclaurin, and John Erskine. These five Scottish evangelical ministers established contact with Edwards during a period of revival that was taking place in America and Britain. They used Edwards’ initial works as manuals for understanding the religious awakenings that occurred in Scotland in the early 1740s. All five ministers continued to exchange letters with Edwards throughout their lifetimes, providing updates on the state of religion in their respective regions, organizing united prayer efforts to strengthen the revivals, encouraging one another during times of personal difficulties, and discussing the nature of authentic conversion. Erskine distinguished himself by sending Edwards hundreds of books to aid the American’s theological research. Although he had reservations with aspects of Edwards’ thought in Freedom of the Will (1754), Erskine promoted this and other later theological treatises by his friend.

Abstract:
Part 2 reconstructs the theological and rhetorical strategies through which the popular Anglican evangelist George Whitefield and other itinerant preachers labored to persuade their audiences to repudiate the ideal of the godly walk. In its place, many New Englanders championed Whitefield’s "doctrine of the new birth," the instantaneous descent and implantation of God's Holy Spirit. Heady reports of dramatic preaching performances, such as Jonathan Edwards’s Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God, convinced many "New Converts" that they were witnessing an unprecedented outpouring of the Holy Spirit, or what people began to call a singular "Revival of Religion." Traditional outsiders to the Congregational establishment, especially native and African Americans, played key roles in revival accounts of new converts. Diaries, letters, sermon notes, church membership demographics, prayer bills, and even gravestone iconography registered an abrupt shift in lay piety, as New Englanders began to narrate their experiences of the new birth in the earliest evangelical conversion narratives.

Abstract:
In the 1950s and 1960s, significant numbers of missionaries and converts began to object to evangelical Cold War triumphalism. Describing racial segregation in the American South, they pointed out the limits of American democracy. One of these critics, E. Stanley Jones, was a long-time missionary to India, member of the evangelical wing of the Methodist Church, and trustee of Asbury College in Kentucky. During revival meetings at his alma mater—and in speeches around the world—he preached against segregation. With critiques birthed from his involvement in the Sat Tal Ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, his interactions with the Indian caste system, and his friendship with Mahatma Gandhi, he pointed out how racism sabotaged Christian missions and the reputation of American democracy abroad.
