David Bebbington's 1989 book, "Evangelicalism in Modern Britain: A History from the 1730s to the 1980s," put forth the idea that evangelical religion is the result of transatlantic revival in the 1730s, and that it took a working together attitude toward the Enlightenment rather than a contradictory one. Today, Bebbington's thesis has gained international acceptance, and scholars from Europe and North America present a review of its primary arguments and conclusions here in "The Advent of Evangelicalism."Contributors include: David W.
