Kompletný popis

In this work, Rawlyk examines the remarkable growth and evolution of "radical evangelicalism" in what is now English-speaking Canada, from the American Revolution to the War of 1812. He argues that radical evangelicalism was the leading edge of Protestantism and was more democratic and populist than contemporary evangelicalism in the United States. Relative to evangelicalism elsewhere in the English-speaking world, radical evangelicalism in Canada was defined centrally (often almost exclusively) by the "new birth" experience or by similar experiences, such as Sanctification. Over time, however, there has been a significant change regarding the centre of Canadian evangelicalism. This change, sometimes gradual and sometimes sudden, is of crucial importance in understanding all aspects of evolving Canadian Protestantism in the 19th and 20th centuries. Prominent preachers such as Henry Alline, William Black, David George, Freeborn Garrettson, and Harris Harding as well as rank-and-file evangelists figure in "The Canada fire". Through letters, diaries, and autobiographies the actors and actresses in this unfolding religious drama speak for themselves. "The Canada fire" is not only a book about the distant past. It also attempts to throw light on the changing face of Canadian Protestantism in general, and Canadian evangelicalism in particular.
