Review of “From Awakening to Secession: Radical Evangelicals in Switzerland and Britain 1815-1835″: Review of Biblical Literature April 25, 2008

Timothy Stunt’s From Awakening to Secession is a gem. Free of the cant and jargon that disfigures much academic writing, Stunt provides a balanced and thoughtful presentation of the Swiss réveil and its impact upon a small, but influential segment of religious life in early modern Britain. Stunt’s book is a model of clear concise prose, detailed documentation, and lucid argument that avoids professorial posturing or doctrinaire special pleading. Stunt’s publisher, T & T Clark, serves him well providing two appendixes, a bibliography, and a clear, accurate index to this well written presentation. All told, Stunt’s book is a superior work of scholarship and a valuable contribution to the study of Nineteenth century ecclesiastical history.
