Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions, Volume IV
«These two volumes provide the last pillars of what is now a substantial monument of collective research and writing. As there was an Oxford series on the history of Anglicanism, so this new odyssey, surveying the myriad histories of Protestant Dissenting traditions, shows that the Anglicans have again demonstrated their ability to provoke alternatives ... there are many rich, and rewarding, excavations here and much of value has been accomplished.»
Andrew Chandler, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
The five-volume Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions series is governed by a motif of migration ('out-of-England'). It first traces organized church traditions that arose in England as Dissenters distanced themselves from a state church defined by diocesan episcopacy, the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and royal supremacy, but then follows those traditions as they spread beyond England-and also traces newer traditions that emerged
downstream in other parts of the world from earlier forms of Dissent.

downstream in other parts of the world from earlier forms of Dissent. Secondly, it does the same for the doctrines, church practices, stances toward state and society, attitudes toward Scripture, and characteristic patterns of organization that also originated in earlier English Dissent, but that have
often defined a trajectory of influence independent ecclesiastical organizations.
Volume IV examines the globalization of dissenting traditions in the twentieth century. During this period, Protestant Dissent achieved not only its widest geographical reach but also the greatest genealogical distance from its point of origin. Covering Africa, Asia, the Middle East, America, Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific, this collection provides detailed examination of Protestant Dissent as a globalizing movement. Contributors probe the radical shifts and complex reconstruction that
took place as dissenting traditions encountered diverse cultures and took root in a multitude of contexts, many of which were experiencing major historical change at the same time. This authoritative overview unambiguously reveals that 'Dissent' was transformed as it travelled.
