What lay behind the dramatic collapse into modernism of the main Nonconformist denominations of England in the space of less than seventy years?
This unique book presents the remarkable life of E. J. Poole-Connor, a major preacher whose ministry spanned this most turbulent period in British church life, from the time of Spurgeon to the 1960s, and who brilliantly recorded its events.
Interwoven with biography, David Fountain provides in these pages a fast-moving overview of what happened and why, supplying lessons for today that will be eagerly received by Christians zealous for the defense of the Gospel. This is undoubtedly the author’s most important book, drawing together with considerable skill the key elements of the story.

David Guy Fountain (1929-2004) was from 1955-1992 the widely influential minister of Spring Road Evangelical Church, Southampton. An historian by training (MA, St Peter's Hall, Oxford) he authored a number of books about Christian historical figures. He was himself an outstanding contender for the faith, and specially valued as a mentor by other pastors. His knowledge of the period of evangelical history covered by this book was unsurpassed.
