Overview

Anglican Evangelicals examines the major themes and personalities that influenced the outbreak of a number of Evangelical secessions from the Church of England and Ireland during the first half of the nineteenth century. These secessions highlight the tension that existed between the evangelical conversionist imperative and the principles of a national religious establishment.

In the Logos edition, all Scripture passages in Anglican Evangelicals are tagged, appear on mouseover, and link to your favorite Bible translation in your library. With Logos’ advanced features, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “Evangelicalism” or “the Established Church.”
