description Not only was there the parliamentary assistance of men such as William Wilberforce and Thomas Fowell Buxton, but also Evangelical networks and publications were important in mobilising public opinion. [...]Evangelical theology was a major ideological force leading to demands for the limitation of capital punishment. [...]he has decided on a compromise between a basically chronological arrangement and various other factors, political, geographical, biographical and thematic. [...]the book is divided into two parts, the era of expanding empire and the era of global conict but most New Testament research has been entirely oblivious to the political turmoils of its day. [...]Religion and the cold war will be appreciated not only for its substance, but for suggesting opportunities for further work in this fascinating, but under-researched eld. [...]a distinguished exponent of the theology to be found in canonical norms seeks to draw human rights conclusions from his comparison of rules and structures of Churches in the English Prayer Book tradition across the globe.
