Christ and Controversy

More about the book

The book explores how a serious engagement with Christian doctrine can transform church life, particularly focusing on the evolution of the doctrine of Christ's person within English and Welsh Nonconformity from 1600 to 2000. It highlights the orthodox views held by many Nonconformists, while also addressing the alternative interpretations that emerged. The study reviews the traditions of Old Dissent, including Congregationalists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and their Unitarian descendants, as well as the Calvinistic and Arminian Methodist groups stemming from the eighteenth-century Evangelical Revival.
