REINVENTING ENGLISH EVANGELICALISM 1966-2001
By Rob Warner
Paternoster. £19.95
ISBN 978-1-84227-570-2

A complaint against this reviewer’s Evangelicalism Divided (2000) was its incompleteness as a history of the English evangelicalism in the second half of the 20th century.

The observation was correct (for the book was not meant to be such ‘a history’) and this present work is an important contribution to fuller understanding of what was happening between 1966 and 2001. The main theme is that while evangelicalism was a unity until 1966, the split between Martyn Lloyd-Jones and John Stott, in 1966, marked a break up from which there has been no recovery.
