| Summary: | Classical affirmations and alternative stances in the seventeenth century -- Nonconformist christology in the eighteenth century -- Representative ecclesial repercussions in the eighteenth century England -- Representative ecclesial repercussions in the eighteenth century Wales -- Christological contributions and ecclesial developments, 1800-1891 -- The proliferation of nonconformist christology, 1891--1950 -- The decline of nonconformist christological endeavour, 1950-2000 -- Epilogue Includes bibliographical references (p. 183-198) and indexes What may happen when Christians take doctrine seriously? One possible answer is that the shape of churchly life "on the ground" can be significantly altered. This pioneering study is both an account of the doctrine of the person of Christ as it has been expounded by the theologians of historic English and Welsh Nonconformity, and an attempt to show that while many Nonconformists held classical orthodox views of the doctrine between 1600 and 2000, others advocated alternative understandings of Christ's person; hence the evolution of the ecclesial landscape as we have come to know it. The traditions here under review are those of Old Dissent: the Congregationalists, Baptists, Presbyterians and their Unitarian heirs; and the Calvinistic and Arminian Methodist bodies that owe their origin to the Evangelical Revival of the eighteenth century |
