The first of a two-volume analysis of theology in Wales, this volume begins with the publication of Bishop William Morgan’s Bible in 1588 and concludes with the first phase of the Evangelical Revival in 1760. It assesses the development of Puritanism and of doctrine within the Church of England, Dissenting theology including Calvinism and Arminianism, the doctrinal vision of Griffith Jones Llanddowror, and the way in which an evangelistically vibrant moderate Calvinism contributed to the rise of the Methodist movement. As well as evaluating thought and ideas, it assesses the contribution of such vivid personalities as Morgan Llwyd, Charles Edwards, James and Jeremy Owen, Daniel Rowland and William Williams Pantycelyn.
This volume is a history of 20th-century Christianity in Wales. Beginning with a description of religion and its place in society in 1914, it assesses the effect which the Great War had on people's spiritual convictions and on religious opinion and practice. It proceeds to analyze the state of the disestablished Church in Wales, an increasingly confident Catholicism and the growing inter-war crisis of Non-comformity. Liberal theology and the social gospel, the fundamentalist impulse and the churches' response to economic dislocation and political change are discussed, as is the much less traumatic effect of World War II.

"Wales and the Word: Historical Perspectives on Welsh Identity and Religion describes an analyses the link between religion and the idea of Welsh national identity. It discusses the importance of church and chapel and the way in which the Welsh defined themselves for centuries in terms of the Christian religion." "This volume considers the way in which religion and identity have been intertwined from the seventeenth century through to modern times.
