The Rise of the Laity in Evangelical Protestantism (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Lovegrove, Deryck

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This comprehensive investigation into the involvement of ordinary Christians in Church activities and in anti-clerical dissent, explores a phenomenon stretching from Britain and Germany to the Americas and beyond. It considers how evangelicalism, as an anti-establishmentarian and profoundly individualistic movement, has allowed the traditionally powerless to become enterprising, vocal, and influential in the religious arena and in other areas of politics and culture.
