Summary

This third and final volume of the study of dissent examines the turbulent times of Victorian Nonconformity, a period of faith and of doubt. The book assesses the impacts of the major Dissenting preachers and provides insights into the various movements, such as romanticism and the higher, often German, biblical criticism. It shows that the preaching of hell and eternal damnation was more effective in recruiting to the chapels than the gentler interpretations
