About this title

Synopsis

A sweeping look at Christianity around the world in 1851, through the eyes of evangelical observers.

This collection frames the state of Christendom as it stood during a historic conference in London, bringing together papers written for the British Organisation of the Evangelical Alliance. Read as a window into 19th‑century religious life, belief, and practice across continents, it offers thoughtful reports, comparisons, and calls to action for readers today.

These papers explore how Evangelical Christianity faced two great antagonists—infidelity and Romanism—while reporting on the moral and social life of churches in places such as France and the United States. The volume also covers efforts like Sabbath observance, Sunday-schools, and missions, showing how religious life was both organized and lived out in daily society. The editors present the material as a collaboration of diverse voices, unified by a shared Christian perspective and a concern for vital religion worldwide.

• Firsthand accounts of church life and religious practice in France, the United States, and other regions.
• Discussion of Sabbath observance, Sunday-schools, and Christian education in the 1800s.
• Analyses of the spread of Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, and secular challenges.
• Profiles of missions, ecclesiastical structures, and the global reach of evangelical efforts.

Ideal for readers of religious history, evangelicalism, and 19th‑century social theology seeking context on how Christian communities described themselves and their world.
