Lewis Edwards
Lewis Edwards (1809–87) oedd pennaf ysgolhaig Cymru’r bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg ac yn un a gododd safonau y Gymru Ymneilltuol a’u gosod ar seiliau dysg rhyngwladol. Yn Fethodist Calfinaidd o ran ei fagwraeth a’i argyhoeddiadau, yfodd yn ddwfn o dduwioldeb ei gyfnod. Mynnodd gymathu ei ysbrydolrwydd â dysg, a thrwy hynny bu’n anniwall am ei addysgu ei hun, yn gyntaf mewn ysgolion gwlad lleol yng Ngheredigion, ei sir enedigol, yna ym Mhrifysgol Llundain, ond yn bennaf ym Mhrifysgol Caeredin, sef yr unig brifysgolion a oedd yn agored i Ymneilltuwyr Protestannaidd na allent gydymffurfio, o ran cydwybod, â’r Eglwys Wladol. Oni bai am hynny i Brifysgol Rhydychen yr âi. Yn ogystal ag ymorol am ddysg, mynnodd gyfuno ei grefydd brofiadol, Fethodistaidd, â diwylliant secwlar, yn llenyddol ac yn athronyddol, rhywbeth a wnaeth yn bur lwyddiannus yn ystod ei gyfnod wrth draed yr awdur ‘Christopher North’ a’r ysgolhaig Thomas Chalmers yn yr Alban (1833–6).

A New History of the Church in Wales
Marks the centenary of the Church in Wales and critically assesses landmarks in its evolution.
Sensuous Glory
Born a century ago, the poet D. Gwenallt Jones displays a rare spiritual authority that gives his work an increasing importance beyond his native Wales. His distinctive voice was shaped by his embrace of an impassioned Christianity in the face of the wars and bleak industrialism of the twentieth century, and potent images of tragedy confronted by hope and generosity are woven throughout his poetry. His precise descriptions of local people and places have a universal and timeless significance, becoming the badeground of apocalyptic powers of good and evil. Here the well-known writer Donald Allchin explores the international relevance of Gwenallt's writing, while D. Densil Morgan gives a critical assessment of the body of his work.These extended essays are followed by Patrick Thomas' new translations of thirty-five of Gwenallt's poems.
The Span of the Cross
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.
The Clergy in Khaki
British army chaplains have not fared well in the mythology of the First World War. Like its commanders they have often been characterized as embodiments of ineptitude and hypocrisy. Yet, just as historians have reassessed the motives and performance of British generals, this collection offers fresh insights into the war record of British chaplains. Drawing on the expertise of a dozen academic researchers, the collection offers an unprecedented analysis of the subject that embraces military, political, religious and imperial history. The volume also benefits from the professional insights of chaplains themselves, several of its contributors being serving or former members of the Royal Army C...
The Jews of Wales
This study considers Welsh Jewry as a geographical whole and is the first to draw extensively on oral history sources, giving a voice back to the history of Welsh Jewry, which has long been a formal history of synagogue functionaries and institutions. The author considers the impact of the Second World War on Wales’s Jewish population, as well as the importance of the Welsh context in shaping the Welsh-Jewish experience. The study offers a detailed examination of the numerical decline of Wales’s Jewish communities throughout the twentieth century, and is also the first to consider the situation of Wales’s Jewish communities in the early twenty-first, arguing that these communities may be significantly fewer in number and smaller than in the past but they are ever evolving.
The Palgrave Handbook of Artistic and Cultural Responses to War since 1914
This handbook explores a diverse range of artistic and cultural responses to modern conflict, from Mons in the First World War to Kabul in the twenty-first century. With over thirty chapters from an international range of contributors, ranging from the UK to the US and Australia, and working across history, art, literature, and media, it offers a significant interdisciplinary contribution to the study of modern war, and our artistic and cultural responses to it. The handbook is divided into three parts. The first part explores how communities and individuals responded to loss and grief by using art and culture to assimilate the experience as an act of survival and resilience. The second part...
The People's Book
The Bible played a vital role in the lives, theology, and practice of the Protestant Reformers. These essays from the 2016 Wheaton Theology Conference bring together the reflections of church historians and theologians on the nature of the Bible as "the people's book," considering themes such as access to Scripture, the Bible's role in worship, and theological interpretation.
