Recognising that modern evangelicalism has its roots in various movements that have developed since the 16th century and before, this unit nevertheless argues that evangelicalism is most significantly a part of modern western culture and thought. The unit covers the movement from 1738 (Wesley's conversion) through to the modern charismatic renewal will be traced, examining both cultural and theological trends. Attention will be paid to significant individuals and to both denominational and broader movements. Reactions to Evangelicalism by Ritualists and Christian Socialists are considered.
