Reviews and Awards
"This volume provides many fresh angles of vision and its editors are to be commended." -- Journal of British Studies
"this work is thorough and rewarding." -- Robert Jones, Congregational History Society Magazine
"As a learned and concise summary of key themes in the history of the Protestant Dissenting traditions, distilling the work of established scholars and incorporating the latest research, this is a very welcome volume, and the rest of the series is awaited with eager anticipation." -- Martin Wellings, Book Reviews Editor of Wesley and Methodist Studies, Wesley and Methodist Studies
"I find it hard to imagine how one might have done a better job of condensing the range of nineteenth-century Protestant Dissenting thought and practice into a single volume. The choice of topics is thoughtful; the essays are informative and lucid; and the scholarship is impeccable throughout (with the notes alone providing a rich treasure trove of sources). In their series introduction, Larsen and Noll write that "[h]owever imprecise the category of 'Dissent' must remain, the volumes in this series are guaranteedto delight readers with the wealth of their insight" (xix). It is a bold claim, but one that is certainly borne out in this case." -- Mark Knight, Victorian Studies
"This volume contains much that is stimulating, illuminating, provocative, and critical for historians of nineteenth-century religion." -- Martin Spence , Fides et Historia
"...[T]his is a very welcome volume, and the rest of the series is awated with eager anticipation." -- Martin Wellings, Wesley and Methodis Studies
"The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions is an important, illuminating, and well-produced volume. Individual essays contain some masterly exercises in compression. . . . Overall, this volume is an exemplary demonstration of effective collaborative scholarship on a religious movement of central importance to the era it covers and of continuing importance to global Christianity." -- Hilary M. Carey, The Journal of the Historical Association
"This volume admirably presents many wonderfully suggestive proposals about the nature of nineteenth century dissent."--Evan Kuehn, Reading Religion
