Evangelicalism contributed to the great transformation of ideas in the modern world. In this investigation, through a global study of the major figures and movements in the early evangelical world, Professor Ward traces the discussions from Central Europe to the American colonies about the nature of evangelical identity.

This is the first attempt to provide a concise, accessible and comprehensible account of Christian belief and practice between 1684 and 1789. Focusing on policy, it offers students a region-by-region guide to churches in Europe and presents them in their political, social and intellectual context.

A major development in our understanding of the religious history of the early eighteenth century, this book examines the Protestant revival across both Europe and North America, in particular the interaction of the separate communities.
