No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780987132970

Stuart Piggin's history of Australian evangelicalism has been well received by secular as well as religious historians.

This revised edition brings the story right up to the present, covering the worldwide expansion of Sydney Anglicanism and Hillsong Pentecostalism. While Australia has become increasingly 'secular, ' evangelicals have become more engaged than ever in politics, education and social welfare.

Written in a lively, accessible, and engaging way, this story of how God has worked through one part of his church in Australia is an exciting, encouraging and challenging one.

Highly recommended. Every Evangelical Christian in Australia, on reading this book, would better understand where their denomination has come from and where it might be heading in the 21st century. Readers of all religious persuasions and none will be surprised to discover the extent to which Evangelical Christianity has shaped Australian values and identity.

Jonathan Edwards and Scripture: Biblical Exegesis in British North America
For too long, scholars have published new research on Edwards without paying due attention to the work he took most seriously: biblical exegesis. Edwards is recognized as an innovative theologian who wielded tremendous influence on revivalism, evangelicalism, and New England theology. What is often missed is how much time he devoted to studying and understanding the Bible. He kept voluminous notebooks on Scripture and died with unrealized plans for major treatises on the Bible. More and more experts now recognize the importance of this aspect of his life&#x3b; this book brings together the insights of leading Edwards scholars on this topic. The essays in <em>Jonathan Edwards and Scripture</em> set Edwards' engagement with Scripture in the context of seventeenth-century Protestant exegesis and eighteenth-century colonial interpretation. They provide case studies of Edwards' exegesis in varying genres of the Bible and probe his use of Scripture to develop theology. The authors also set his biblical interpretation in perspective by comparing it with that of other exegetes. This book advances our understanding of the nature and significance of Edwards' work with Scripture and opens new lines of inquiry for students of early modern Western history.<br>
