Restoring The Reformation/S.E.H.T. (Studies In Evangelical History And Thought) (Studies In Evangelical History And Thought) (Studies In Evangelical History And Thought)

British Evangelicalism and the Francophone 'Réveil' 1816-1849

Plot

This book traces British missionary initiative in post-Revolutionary Francophone Europe from the genesis of the London Missionary Society, the visits of Robert Haldane and Henry Drummond, and the founding of the Continental Society. While British evangelicals aimed at the reviving of a foreign Protestant cause of momentous legend, they received unforeseen reciprocating emphases from the Continent which forced self-reflection on Evangelicalism's own relationship to the Reformation.
