Engaging with Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The figure of D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) dominates the history of British evangelicalism in the twentieth century. As perhaps the greatest non-conformist statesman of his generation, 'the Doctor' is best known as a preacher and mentor of young preachers. From the pulpit of Westminster Chapel in London and other platforms, he called the evangelical movement back to a robust reformed Christianity, with a passion for biblical conviction and Spirit-empowered revival. His impact upon evangelicalism was immense, and his legacy remains deeply influential. By building on, and engaging with, the work of earlier biographers and theologians, this valuable collection of new studies seeks to advan...
Evangelicalism in Modern Britain
Bebbington presents a newly researched historical study of Evangelical religion in its British cultural setting. Focusing on patterns of change affecting all churches, it details how the movement has been moulded by British culture.
The Welsh Methodist Society
The evangelical or Methodist revival had a major impact on Welsh religion, society and culture, leading to the unprecedented growth of Nonconformity by the nineteenth century, which established a very clear difference between Wales and England in religious terms. Since the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist movement did not split from the Church to form a separate denomination until 1811, it existed in its early years solely as a collection of local society meetings. By focusing on the early societies in south-west Wales, this study examines the grass roots of the eighteenth-century Methodist movement, identifying the features that led to its subsequent remarkable success. At the heart of the book lie the experiences of the men and women who were members of the societies, along with their social and economic background and the factors that attracted them to the Methodist cause.
Christian Hymns
More than twenty-five years ago, when the first edition of Christian Hymns was published, the editors hardly anticipated that all these years later they would be involved in a revision of that volume. It has been the remarkably wide acceptance of that book, not only in the UK but in many other countries of the English-speaking world, that has led to this present publication. As with the original book, we have sought the co-operation of a good number of churches from widely representative backgrounds. This has assisted us in discovering those hymns that have not been greatly used, and also in identifying the sort of compositions that are being sung with acceptance in many of our churches. The result has been the addition of well over 200 new items and the omission of about 190 little-used hymns from the first edition. As with the first edition, and following the principle which determined C.H. Spurgeon's selection of hymns, we have resolutely refused to adopt a sectarian agenda and have considered each hymn on its biblical, spiritual and poetic merit, irrespective of the background of the author. - christianhymns.org.uk.
The Experience Meeting
The experimental or experiential aspect of the Christian life has been seriously neglected during the present century. Certain factors and tendencies have led to this unfortunate condition. Chief among these has been a superficial evangelism which has neglected real conviction of sin and repentance and encouraged an easy believism. Secondly, there has been a theory of sanctification, more psychological than spiritual and scriptural, which has discouraged self-examination and taught that we have only to 'leave it to the Lord.' Thirdly, and more recently, has been an unbalanced emphasis on intellectual understanding of Truth, the social application of Truth, and the manifestation of particular...

The First Fifty Years
In January 1948, during a retreat for Christian students and others in Dolgellau, North Wales, a young girl approached one of the group and said, 'A small stream has started flowing here today; one day it will flow over the whole of Wales.' The story of that stream is the subject of this book, a significant part of the gracious movement of God's Spirit in our land, a work which, in time, came to be known as the Evangelical Movement of Wales. Here we have a graphic account of how that work, from its stirring beginnings in the late forties and early fifties, spread and developed up to the end of the twentieth century. It tells the story of the early evangelistic campaigns, the youth camps, the nurture of believers in local fellowships and conferences, the establishment of Christian bookshops, the planting of new churches, together with the attempts to foster unity and co-operation -- and, above all, the stand for basic biblical truths and the witness of the gospel both orally and in print. Beneath it all, down the years, has been an undercurrent of yearning and prayer for a powerful spiritual revival in our time. Book jacket.
